-This specimen was lot 448 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 26 (Winter Park, FL, November 2019), where it sold for $357. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Lima, [[Peru]], cob 2 reales, 1739/8N. Typically crude (unevenly thick) but high grade (XF), with nice light toning, full 739/8 between pillars and bold (AN)O 7 in legend, two partial assayers but both clearly N and not V." Despite pleas from locals in Lima for a mint, Spanish authorities preferred to concentrate coinage production at Potosi in Upper Peru. The mint was shuttered multiple times by orders from Spain, not to reopen permanently until 1684. Cob two reales were struck at the Lima mint 1701-46 for Philip V of Spain and became the "two bits" of pirate lore. The fineness was lowered from 0.931 to 0.917 in 1725. The Mexico City mint was converted to milled coinage in 1732-34 but Lima would not follow suit until 1751.
