This specimen was lot 74631 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2025), where it sold for $85. The catalog description[1] noted, "PERU. Cob 1/2 Real, 1751-L R. Lima Mint. Ferdinand VI. PCGS FINE-12. From the Richard August Collection." This type was struck 1747-51 just before the transition to milled coinage. Unlike other mints, the Lima mint managed to squeeze a mintmark and assayer initial onto its half real cobs but couldn't fit a four digit date. Cayón mentions assayer J for 1751 but such a coin probably doesn't exist. Assayer J introduced milled coinage at Lima but only stamped gold coins in 1751.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 1.69 g, 0.917 fine silver, this specimen 1.91 g.
