Customer brought this piece in and I am not quite sure about value. Very tough to look these up and not being an expert on this earlier material Im reaching out to the public as to what its retail value may be so I can at least offer a strong dollar to the customer.

    If you can tell me what my American silver dollar is worth, I'll tell you what your Bolivian 8 Reales is worth.

    Nice cob. Keep an eye on the upcoming Sedwick sale - it should give you an idea of the current market price of cobs.

    Looking at mcsearch.info and checking prices on sixbid, looks like a MBC-/BC examples of a 1669-E Potosi 8 Reales are anywhere from $150 to $300.

    Thanks, I'll let my customer know my offer. If I get it I'll have it for sale at CSNS next week.

    I thought F-VF as well. However I don't know what MBC-/BC mean I know VF to F, just not what the acronym spells out.
