PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1727-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Felix Cristobal Cano Melgarejo (M). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Salt Water Damage, EF Details.
KM-33; Cal-1040. Weight: 10.52 gms. The surfaces of this Lima cob show evidence of saltwater damage, and the flan was evidently clipped, accounting for its lower weight. In spite of these flaws, the coin still offers a denomination mark, assayer's initial, and an impressively clear date. The reverse has lost most of its detail, but still displays the upper castle and lion fairly well. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
