BOLIVIA. Cob 8 Reales, 1726-P Y. Potosi Mint, Assayer Diego de Ybarbouro I(Y). Luis I. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details.
KM-35; Cal-49; Paoletti-367. One of only three certified examples of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, none finer. Struck on a broad planchet this popular short-lived issue is among many collectors favorites. The obverse exhibits a bold and clear date with full denomination and the assayers letters are slightly muddled, but are nearly complete. The cross and castles and lions are well defined, though the lower left quadrant is somewhat flat. Close inspection of the obverse reveals faint tasteful smoothing in the flat area to the left of the denomination as indicated as "Tooled" on the PCGS insert, long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of this ever popular type that is certain to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
