-This specimen was lot 1941 in Sedwick sale 34 (Winter Park, FL, November 2023), where it sold for $204. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Potosí, [[Bolivia]], cob 1 real, 1742 P+C, unique. First and only example we have seen or heard of with assayer P on the pillars side and assayer C on the cross side (possibly C/P). AU+ with nice, original surfaces showing off much luster, bold pillars and partial cross." 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 This type was struck 1729-47 and superseded an earlier type (KM 28) which was 0.931 fine silver.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. The low weight of this example suggests clipping or extensive corrosion.
