Hi all. I came across four small denomination cobs and one 1/2 reale 1776 bust that is in decent shape. Any info on the cobs would be great. One is pretty worn and I think is the oldest (1 reale). Two 1 reale cobs have obvious denomination and date and the 2 Reales cob shows an assayer R (or TR?).
The 1700 looks like it has a horizontal '8' instead of two zero's.
All seem to be Potosi mints.

Well, I did a bit of research on the webs and could find out some things about the cobs (except for the really worn one which I didn't get anyways).
Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

The 1776 1/2 real weighs 1.65g diam 17.1-17.2mm and shows 180* overlap on the edge which I find quite remarkable for such a small coin of that age.

The 1772 1 real weighs 3.28g diam 17.2-20.3mm and should be assayer V (although not visible) Carolus III.

The 1700 1 real weighs 3.57g diam 20.8-24.9mm and should be assayer F, Carolus II or could it be an assayer Y, Philipus V ?

The 2 reales weighs 6.86g diam 23.2-24.5mm
assayer is R which could eighter
be: Alonso de Rincon, 1573-1576, Philip II or: Baltasar Ramos Leceta, 1590-1615, Philip III

I guess an expert could tell us more.
Thanks for your comments!
