-The first specimen was lot 1863 in Stephen Album sale 38 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2020), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bolivia|BOLIVIA]]: Felipe V, 1700-1746, AR 2 reales [1]740-P, assayer P, cob coinage, 2 mintmarks, 2 dates, 3 assayers, crude, but full cross visible, Fine." The second specimen was lot 929 in Sedwick sale 34 (Winter Park, FL, November 2023), where it sold for $336. The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, "Potosí, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, 1740 P/M, unique. Chunky and darkly toned VF with full pillars and cross, two dates, three mintmarks and assayers, with all three showing clear traces of under-assayer M, a logical but heretofore unknown example of the transition." Two assayers are known for 1740: assayer M (1737-40) and assayer P (1740-42). The type is not rare but is less often seen than the [[Bolivia 1740-P M 8 reales|eight reales]]. 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 This type was struck 1729-47 and superseded an earlier type (KM 29) which was 0.931 fine silver. 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.
