1718 Peruvian Gold Cob 8 Escudo
NGC Mint State 64
Wow! Super high grade and the absolute finest known example today. NGC has certified only 8 in all grades with the next highest being Mint State 61. This could well be the best buy of the entire group for the money. The reverse is nearly three-dimensional.

1628-1665 Colombia Gold Cob 2 Escudo of Philip IV
From the Maravillas Shipwreck
NGC Mint State 63
Very few coins from this wreck are on the market today, and only one example is known finer than this. It was lost on January 4th, 1656 in the shallow waters of Little Bahama Bank and all but 45 of the 650 passengers on board perished. Discovered in August 1972, no leases have been granted by the Bahamian government since the early 1990s.

1597 Spanish Gold Cob 2 Escudo
Seville, Spain Mint
NGC About Unc. 53
The oldest coin in this offering and not from a shipwreck, gold cobs from late 1500’s Spain are very rare in any condition because Spain had no gold mines. This gold was mined in South America and sent back to Spain for minting. As such, this softly-struck two escudo is the outright finest example known in the world today.
$6,325
1743 Colombia Gold Cob 2 Escudo of Charles III
Pedigreed from the Pat Johnson Collection
PCGS About Unc. 50
Would you believe that this is also the finest known example of this extremely rare issue? Even though this is a smaller size cob, all design details are clear and evident on both sides. This really is a superb example and remarkably priced.
$6,850
1746-56 Colombia Gold Cob 2 Escudo of Ferdinand VI
NGC Mint State 63
Last, but not least, on this list, we have yet another finest known example! All design details are completely evident and well-centered. A great coin for the money and sure to sell fast for this grade and high-end status.
