This specimen was lot 587 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 28 (Winter Park, FL, November 2020), where it sold for $570. The catalog description[1] noted, "Potosí, Bolivia, cob 4 reales, (16)29T, very rare. Choice grade (lustrous AU) with bold full cross-lions-castles and nearly full shield, clear dot-P-dot-T and denomination dot-O-IIII, full crown, clear bottoms of digits 29 of date (only the second specimen we have seen), incipient toning on edge only.
