For those of you that remember the Bolivian coinage we had roll into work several weeks ago this is part of it. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/cob1.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/forums/cob2.jpg There were a total of eight 8 Reales cobs in the set. NOT stuff we really deal with. We sent four into NGC. All are legit and now I have a bit more information to help me look them up further. Three are KM10 as is noted on the holders and struck under the reign of Phillip III from 1596-1621. All came back as XF40 with one being noted for an obverse scratch. So I did a bit of digging and figured they should sell for $300-400. So my boss decides to put a few on ebay with a $200 reserve. One of the two he wanted to put up was the 1730 and he did this before I could do any research. Luckily I caught it in time. If I'm not mistaken this is KM# R31a. The 1730P M as listed on the holder. Book price in XF40 is $9000! Now I am NOT strong on this stuff at all. Anyone that is and wants to verify it or even tell me why I might be wrong it would be appreciated. Just hope I'm right! clembo
clembo, Although this coin is way outside my area of knowledge, by me looking it up in my Krause 18th century catalog 3rd edition I would have to also agree that it is a KM# R31a. Est value of $9,000 in XF WOW what a find .. your boss should give you a raise/or bonus for your research!! It is such a cool coin :thumb:
