Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1 real Royal, 1715J, very rare. S-M22; KM-R30; CT-1556. 2.80 grams. The perfect companion to lot #656, a 2R Royal of the same date and super-clean style, perfectly round and fully detailed, totally unlike the regular cobs of this period and the Royals of earlier periods, not as rare as the 2R but many times rarer than the 1/2R (which the buyer of this lot and #656 could easily acquire for the set, bearing in mind that the 8R exists for this date as well, but not the 4R), richly toned AVF/F with inevitable hole at top (axes aligned) and weak spot on cross. ($1500-2250)
