thank you, Dearborn...these are both actual whole coins (cobs tend to look like metal fragments...) the 1st example is for sale on ebay (not mine) & is mis-identified as to the denomination. the 2nd is a little 1/2 real showing the stylized monogram (PHILLIPVS..;letters joined together as shown in the pic) ...

We've seen that particular fake many times - both in this topic and elsewhere on the CCF. Readily available on Forty Thieves.

I saw these "Error Ikes" in a HiBid auction last week but didn't save the link.
