^Lot 730 BOLIVIA, Potosí, denomination set of 8-4-2-1-½ reales, 1688 VR, ex-Sellschopp.

BOLIVIA, Potosí, denomination set of 8-4-2-1-½ reales, 1688 VR, ex-Sellschopp. S-P39. 52.07 grams total. Date-matched denomination sets are very hard to assemble these days, and many of the Sellschopp sets like this one have been long since broken up. What stands out most in this one is the 4 reales, with three dates and choice full cross, but all the other denominations also have multiple dates (yes, even the ½ real) and nice details, the average grade being VF, with generally attractive toning, a premium set even without the famous pedigree. Pedigreed the Sellschopp collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988, lot 810) and to Sedwick Auction 10, with original lot-tag 789, also Sedwick Auction 16, with original lot-tag 617.
