The first specimen was lot 331 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 26 (Winter Park, FL, November 2019), where it sold for $2,618. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mexico City, [[Mexico]], cob 8 reales, 1715J, ex-1715 Fleet, ex-Lozano. Elongated flan with very bold full 15 of date (impressive and desirable thus), nearly full shield and cross, light corrosion on cross side, dappled toning. From the 1715 Fleet, with photo-certificate, and pedigreed to the collection of Alberto Lozano. Auction lot-tag personally signed by John Pullin. The John Pullin Collection of Dated Mexican Cobs." The second specimen was lot 407 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 26 (Winter Park, FL, November 2019), where it sold for $20,230. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mexico City, [[Mexico]], cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1715J, NGC XF details / plugged, repaired. Mexican Royal 8 reales are among the rarest and most desirable Spanish colonial coins, and this date 1715 is particularly rare and sought in light of the shipwreck disaster of that year (die-match with Lazaro #70, rated R3). Like all the Royals of after 1714, this piece has 100% perfect details (some believe it was machine-struck), with no flatness or doubling or centering issues, with precise medallic alignment. The fields are toned, with some tooling, particularly at 6 o'clock where an old hole was expertly repaired, but in all other respects this piece is choice and worthy of the finest collections." The silver cobs were debased from .931 fine to .917 fine in 1728. They are not rare but very scarce with legible dates.
