EX Hess 1951, Gotha n 9 g 7.77

While I can see how the 3rd date digit could be read as a "5" (esp. the pointy lower right portion), fairly sure this should be 1634, not 1654. It looks to be assayer M, who worked in the early 1630s (the letter's a bit sloppy - it "could" technically be M over H, which I've seen on a Madrid 4R of this period). A 1654 piece out of Madrid would almost certainly be assayer A, prolific on silver cobs of this period but also observed as the assayer mark on Madrid gold of that time - and that cant be read as the Madrid A.

More notably, by style this is MUCH more 1630s Madrid output than 1650s. Compare this piece to the very next lot in this auction. Stylistically a very similar coin, but with a bold & clear assayer M. Additionally, more of the decade digit is clear and it certainly looks to be a "3" (final digit not visible).

If the person who bought this happens to see this, further study of Madrid 1630s material vs. 1650s material (compare gold AND silver) would be useful (a search of archives on here, the Tauler y Fau database, Calico/Cayon books, etc.).
