Good luck trying and find another one. This is 1 of only 5 of the highest grade one dated most sought after ultra rare famous 8 Reales of all the Atocha silver cobs.

This is Plate Coin #33, part of the 237 coin Golden Plate research coins that were the best of the best. Comes with everything pictured to include Official New Hologram COA, Fisher Appraisal, Flip & Wallet.

Through Eugene Lyons archival research, it was determined that this particular type specimen, less than a combined 50 minted (less recovered) in both Santa Fe de Bogota and Cartagena, were presentation pieces for the King and not for circulation. There are only 5 Grade Ones, and only 2 Grade Ones with visible dates in the data base, hence ULTRA RARE. ULTRA RARE Colombian Cartagena 8 reales Dated 1622A, mintmark RN to left, a choice Grade 1, rare, pedigreed to the Atocha Research Collection (Plate Coin) and Plate Coin in The Practical Book of Cobs. Weighing in at a hefty 25.43 grams. This photogenic coin has a long pedigree dating back to Neil Harris' The Numismatist article of October 1986 (Plate Coin #33) and most recently on the cover of the 1st quarter 2014 PLVS VLTRA newsletter, with the Atocha Research Collection (1988) and The Practical Book of Cobs (2007) in between!

Not hard to see why: It is virtually uncorroded and beautifully toned, with choice full shield and cross (super detail, in fact clearly UNC), full mintmark RN and assayer A, plus clear middle digits of date. ULTRA RARE considering that virtually all known specimens come from the 1622 Fleet, and most are corroded, doubled, split or all three! With Fisher photo-certificate #236050, Plate Coin #233 in the Atocha Research Collection catalog, also the Plate Coin on page 124 of the 4th edition (2007) of The Practical Book of Cobs. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida. Go ahead and shoot me an offer.
