405. 8 reales, (1)723(J), bold date, very rare. S-M22, CT-676; 23.9 grams. Extremely bold full date (possibly the best specimen known) that is so rare as to be missing in Calbetó (except for a Royal), but typically crude strike (much flatness), full cross, nicely toned Fine, probably struck underweight because edges appear to be intact.

408. 8 reales, 1732/1F, bubble hole. S-M26, CT-685a; 26.3 grams.

Roundish planchet with bold oM, nearly full shield and cross, some crown, lightly toned (tan on obverse, black on reverse), flat bottoms of final digits of date visible (hence probably 1622, which matches the style of the coin), Fine with flat areas. Estimate: $75-$110

412. 4 reales, (16)56P. S-M19, CT-641; 11.3 grams. Bold oMP next to what the consignor thought was the middle of the date but is actually the end of it (with a large space after that), most of shield and cross, mostly toned (dark in places), crude Fine. Estimate: $75-$110

Estimate: $200-$300

418. 2 reales, (162)5/4(D), rare. S-M18a, CT-unlisted; 6.5 grams. Clear 5/4 in date (offset), most of cross, nearly full shield, appears to be salvaged (very likely “Lucayan Beach wreck” of ca. 1628) but not much corrosion, some dark toning, near XF for actual wear. Estimate: $200-$300

422. 1 real, (16)22/0D. S-M18a, CT-unlisted (cf. 856); 2.6 grams.

Pedigreed to the Heritage 1995 A.N.A. sale, with lot-tag. Estimate: $750-$1,000

425. Copper 2 maravedís, Ferdinand-Isabel, very rare special issue struck in Seville, Spain, for use in the Caribbean. CT-500a, Cay-Type 5; 1.7 grams. Corroded like most coppers, but with most details at least faintly visible, including the all-important central F-Y that indicates the coin was struck specifically for use in the New World, also with some of the Gothic lettering in the legend visible, dark brown all over, VG net grade. Estimate: $150-$225

426. Copper 4 maravedís, assayer oF. S-SD1, CT-214; 2.5 grams. Clear central details (assayer, denomination, pillars and mintmark S-P), VF, mostly brown but with some original orange highlights and spots of green, two edge-splits. Estimate: $30-$50

427. 4 reales, Philip II, assayer Rincón, rare first coinage of South America. S-L1, CT-385; 12.9 grams. This is an excellent specimen of this desirable rarity (effectively the highest denomination you can get from the first issue because the 8R is a five-figure coin of which only maybe 5 or 6 are known!), with nearly full legends and crown, full inner details, no doubling, Fine for wear, but with a slight hint of oxidation. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750

428.½ real, Philip II, assayer Rincón (rare first coinage of South America). S-L1, CT-652; 1.8 grams. Choice details (bold RI and pillars and assayer R and mintmark P), full PHILIPVS in legend, attractively toned VF+, but a victim of its own beauty in that someone holed it near the edge long ago. Estimate: $225-$300

Typically nice strike on a large, round planchet, with full inner details and nearly full legends, lightly toned AVF with incidental old scratches and dings, but remarkable for its “R” mintmark that was proven long ago to be a progressive die-break (this one obviously struck very late in the die’s decay). Estimate: $750-$1,000

430. 8 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, P-8 (flat top) to left, *-oD to right. S-L4, CT-238a; 26.7 grams.

434. 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, P-ii to left, *- oD to right. S-L4, CT-529; 6.6 grams. Choice high grade (AU) with excellent details but lightly doubled and darkly toned as from salvage. Recovered from the Chagres River in Panama. Estimate: $200-$300

435. 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, oD-* to right. S-L4, CT-530; 6.6 grams. Excellent full cross and shield and crown (all very slightly doubled), less legend than usual, richly toned XF (quite attractive) with virtually no signs of its salvage provenance. Recovered from the Chagres River in Panama. Estimate: $200-$300

436. 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, *-ii to left, P-oD to right. S-L4, CT-527; 6.4 grams. Bold full shield, full crown and cross, typically round and well struck, just a bit worn (AVF) and somewhat crudely toned. Estimate: $200-$250

437. 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, (P-ii) to left, *-oD to right. S-L4, CT-529; 6.8 grams. High grade (XF) but somewhat crude for type, still with full shield and cross, bold *-oD, lightly toned. Estimate: $150-$225

438. 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, *-ii to left, P-oD to right. S-L4, CT-527; 5.4 grams. Full shield and cross and crown and clear P-oD but worn (VG) and with weak strike in center, holed near edge, and probably lightly clipped or shaved. Estimate: $75-$110

439. 8 reales, 1685R. S-L7, CT-217; 27.5 grams. Very broad planchet with full cross and pillars-and-waves, bold (CARO)LVS II in legend, three assayers, 1½ mintmarks, some flat spots but otherwise AVF, nicely toned. Estimate: $400-$600

442. 8 reales Royal, 1689V. S-L8, CT-212; 27.2 grams. Different dies than Lázaro #5 (and also larger flan), this specimen is far from perfect (holed near edge at top of pillars, lightly gilded, and with some doubling and flat spots) but is impressively large and round and shows all inner details clearly and could be quite affordable for the type. Estimate: $3,000-$5,000

443. 8 reales, 1690R. S-L9, CT-223; 26.4 grams. Thick in the middle and with taper to edge (hence flat peripheries), with full waves, good but incomplete cross and pillars, two denominations, part of king’s name, VF+ for actual wear. Estimate: $300-$450
