PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1740-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Fernando de Vargas (V). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Salt Water Damage, VF Details.
KM-33A; Cal-1050. Weight: 12.58 gms. This Lima cob exhibits saltwater damage, evidence of the many years it spent buried in the ocean. This is especially evident on the reverse, on which only faint detail remains due to the corrosion. The obverse, however, still offers a pleasingly clear date, mintmark, and assayer's initial. An altogether enticing example of a shipwreck cob. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
