POST YOUR BOLIVIA OR PERU COBS

Bolivia Cobs from Potosi mint that were struck and circulated at the same time with pillar coinage are sometimes more scarce than the pillars, specially in minor denominations. Moreover, Charles III Cobs 1760-1773, specially 1/2 reales are usually hard to find in nice condition. Here are two examples from my collection of cobs that were struck and circulated during the same period of pillar coinage in Potosi, 1768 1/2 real and 1769 1 real.
1768 Bolivia 1/2 real
1769 Bolivia 1 real

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Doggedly collecting coins of the Central American Republic.
