This specimen was lot 73048 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2024), where it sold for $660. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Cob 1/2 Real, 1656-Mo P. Mexico City Mint. Philip IV. PCGS VF-20. Struck with a bold last three digits of the date which is highly unusual. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection."
