    in auction? whatever someone will spend image I think the auction estimate is 200-300 or so, whatever that's worth. Id have to recheck the site. I haven't done due dilligence to check out ha or anyplace else, because I dont anticipate bidding, for the record.

    According to the list of prices realized, it sold for $225. LINK

    An example of the 1815 S/R variety in Choice Unc brought about $2500 a few years back (Renaissance Auctions, 6 December 2000 ex-Siegfried von Schuckmann). Heritage had a more recent offering, apparently not quite as sharply struck as the von Schuckmann coin (based on the picture). LINK

    ah...cool!

    btw, the realized price isn't right, that price realize was for auction 3. this is an auction 4 lot up currently.

    Ok, now I'm confused

    I worked backward from the link to the photo which is
    http://www.workmansbooks.com/AuctionNo3Photos/698.jpg
    and understandably made the inference that the coin was offered in Auction #3.

    When I go to Sedwick's site, I find this link for Auction #4
    http://www.sedwickcoins.com/treasureauction4_catalog.htm
    and the links to the left lead me to lot 698 which is a cob listed under Potosi and described as

    "4 reales, Philip III, assayer R (curved leg). S-P15. KM-9. 13.3 grams. Broad planchet with good full shield and cross, weak assayer, non-toned VF. Estimate: $120 - $180"

    If possible, please provide a link to the lot description for the Argentina coin, because I can't find it. Thanks!

    I TOTALLY screwed this up! I thought I was looking @ auction 4 items, those pages are even different from the auction 3 pages...
    you're right on the reference, and I apologize for the confusion!!!

    I blame the late night and a screaming baby image

    Ok, thanks for the followup. Been there, done that & completely understand.image

    The Argentina piece looks like a decent VF & should have brought a few hundred bucks. EFs are very scarce and Uncs almost impossible to find.
