-This specimen was lot 922 in Sedwick sale 34 (Winter Park, FL, November 2023), where it sold for $288. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Potosí, [[Bolivia]], cob 2 reales, 1732 YA, rare. Bold full pillars and cross despite much wear (About Fine), with three full dates, one clear assayer and parts of both others, toned fields, tiny edge-split. Pedigreed to the UBS auction 70 of March 2007 (lot 193, one of a group)." The Potosi mint was the most prolific issuer of silver during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, nearly all of it cobs such as this. This type was struck 1729-47, superseding a type (KM 29) which was 0.931 fine. Assayers "M" and "YA" are listed for 1732, with "YA" awarded a slight premium. The other Latin American mints placed the date near the edge where it rarely struck up, whereas Potosi issues have the date smack in the middle, ensuring that the date would be legible even if the rest of the design was smeared. As a result, Bolivian cobs can be collected by date, unlike the other mints (Mexico, Lima, Guatemala). The Potosi mint was the last to abandon the manufacture of cobs, in 1773.
