thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 2:06 pm The cob looks reasonable to me. I'd suggest looking over Daniel Sedwick's old auctions for values and comparison photos. This 4R cob is from the same period but in better condition http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Mex...-F_i20694454 I cannot make out a date on your cob, but there appears to be a fragment of the assayer's initial F (below the M mintmark to the left of the shield). This would date the coin to 1618 or earlier, the estimated timing of the Rill Cove wreck. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
