Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1735/4 L-N AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM38.2 (Rare) A full, bold cross on the reverse, with sharp 735. The obverse strike around 12 o'clock is somewhat scrambled, but there are bold numerals 73 around the periphery at 11 o'clock. A very nice example of this classic 8 Escudo cob type, with the Standard Catalog of World Coins listing the 1735/4 as Rare, with no price. The only other example of this elusive overdate that we have seen had a barely visible 5, with some imagination needed to identify the 4.
