BOLIVIA. Trio of Cob 4 Reales (3 pieces), 1659-61. Potosi Mint, Assayer Antonia de Ergueta (E). Philip IV. All PCGS Certified.
An intriguing trio of Potosi Cobs. All three pieces offer abundant detail and eye appeal. One coin shows different dates on its obverse and reverse. Another is holed but beautifully detailed. The last exhibits the "shipwreck effect" but retains great detail. These three 4 Reales pieces from three sequential dates are a tempting opportunity for collectors of the series.
