Philip IV Plugged/Regulated Cob 8 Reales ND (1621-1667) VG (Corrosion, Plugged), Mexico City mint, Cal-Type 319. 42mm. 23.13gm. A Philip IV 8 Reales, bearing mostly white surfaces and a central plug for circulation in Colonial North America. These regulated cob survivors illustrate how the Spanish coins were adjusted to the New York trade standards, with the H.M.S Feversham (sunk off Scatarie Island (Nova Scotia) in 1711) remaining the sole source for shipwreck cobs with obvious silver plugs to adjust the coin's weight. A sought-after historic example, elusive in any grade and important for collectors of early US colonial types.
