938. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1732M. S-P44; KM-31a; CT-889. 25.96 grams.
Full but doubled cross and pillars, two clear dates, three assayers, toned Fine+, actu-
ally somewhat scarce (overshadowed by the popular YA assayer of the same year).
Estimate: $250-$375.

939. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1733YA, very rare. S-P45; KM-31a; CT-830. . 26.08 grams. Typically chunky but with good full pillars
(slightly doubled) and cross, clear date and all three assayers full, Fine with colorful toning (traces of gilding), with hole near edge and another
one repaired, desirable as missing in several major collections (a temporary assayer who worked for only parts of the years 1732 and 1733).
Estimate: $350-$500.

940. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1734E, full 4-digit date in legend (rare thus). S-P46; KM-31a; CT-893. 27.14 grams. This is a nice
coin overall--with full pillars-and-waves and cross, typically thick and chunky but with far more detail than usual--but what is most striking
is the 100% full and bold date in the legend, probably the first time we have seen such a thing in this period on anything but a Royal (which
this is not), the coin a little silvery from cleaning but with toning on fields, VF+. With photo-certificate. Estimate: $350-$500.
