Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, 1741 P, NGC MS 64, finest and only example in NGC census. S-P48; KM-29a; Cal-925. 6.61 grams. The cross says it all: Both lions and castles are so sharp and deeply struck, with luster in the crevices and no wear on the tops, as to justify such an unprecedented grade for a chunky cob, the pillars also bold and full, with two dates and assayers and mintmarks.
