Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer A, Grade 1, ex-Atocha Research Collection. S-P11; KM-3.2; CT-508. 6.30 grams. This coin could pass for non-salvage, as it is entirely corrosion-free and even has toning like that of a circulated coin (VF overall), and its inclusion in the famous Research Collection is no doubt due to that combined with the choice details (full cross and shield, the former slightly doubled, plus full P-A) that typifies this type. Pedigreed to the Atocha Research Collection (coin #118), with special Fisher certificate #236533 and updated Fisher certificate plus spiral-bound copy of the Atocha Research Collection catalog from 1988. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
