Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1743 L-V XF Details (Removed From Jewelry, Repaired) NGC, Lima mint, KM38.2, Cal-61. Boldly struck, with a superior centering and uniformity of detail when compared to what one often encounters with such cob issues. Though possessing the clear appearance of a coin that has seen past circulation, there are no apparent signs of repair to the surfaces themselves, that designation probably referring to a light touch-up where prior signs of mounting existed at the edges. A striking piece and a worthy representation of this sought-after type.
