BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 4 Reales, 1714-P Y. Potosi Mint, Assayer Diego de Ybarbouro I(Y). Philip V. PCGS EF-40. KM-R30; Cal-1137; CJ-R34.14. Weight: 13.37 gms. The only example of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. This beautifully preserved survivor exhibits boldly struck devices, though slightly doubled, with three unmistakable dates on a round flan. A good portion of the legends are present, though most of the letters are partially off the planchet. The pleasing surfaces display attractive old envelope patina with a lovely combination of heather gray coloration on the high points and rich slate in the protected areas. This charming example was obviously cherished and given great care, being free of any noticeable defects, it is pleasing to the eye and sure to excite many collectors. Freeman Craig envelope with footnote: Round royal presentation type with three dates and segments of most of the pearls and lettering. One of his (Faistauer) favorite pieces. Note that other than the 1738M cited by G-S and offered in the Kagin's/America auction all round 4 Reales recently offered seem to be before 1700, except one ugly 1731. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection. Purchased privately Freeman Craig. Ex: Faistauer Collection. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
