BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1727-P Y. Potosi Mint, Assayer Diego de Ybarbouro I(Y). Luis I. PCGS VF-35.
KM-A35; Cal-145 (for type); CJ-39.3. Weight: 13.25 gms. The finest certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. Nicely preserved, this charmingly crude example offers a bold clear date and denomination on the obverse while the reverse exhibits a nearly complete cross, full mint mark and a fragment of the last digit of the date. Both sides do show minor evidence of a slight shift in the striking process on the compact irregular flan, but is hardly a distraction. Close inspection reveals a couple areas of brighter coloration from attempted encrustation removal, from long ago now slightly subdued. This wholesome survivor, though crude, is quite pleasant; offering much originality with good eye appeal and is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
