Philip V gold Cob "Date on Obverse" 8 Escudos 1714 Mo-J MS63 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM57.2, Cal-108. 27.06gm. An incredibly alluring type to be sure, not least because of its association with the famous 1715 Plate Fleet, still bearing its full weight with hardly the least evidence of its long time spent underwater. Evincing just a bit of striking softness, thick die polish lines filling all the recesses of the design, the mintmark, assayer, and date all full, and the reverse admirably centered for the irregularity of the flan. Fully choice, and very rare as such.
Ex. Sedwick Treasure Auction #23 (15-16 May 2018, Lot 23) (Sold with lot tag); 1715 Plate Fleet
