CheetahCats Pillar of the Community United States 731 Posts	Posted 01/23/2010 7:05 pm Hello - Attached please find images of a recent acqusition of a silver cob (at least, that was what I was told when the item was acquired.) Any insight as to what the coin is, its denomination, etc., would be most appreciated. Thanks, kindly. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/28/2010 09:11 am Don't know much about them, but it is a cob, from the size of the 2X2 I would say that it is an 8 Reales, and the pictures are upside down. I can't guarantee Mexico, or authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff
