Thanks! I love them as well. The hammer struck copper coins have the rugged character similar to cobs. Also, these coins were very plentiful back in the 60s up to the 90s when they became scarcer. The flea market in Mexico City was a prime source of these coins, along with the republic 8 reales. Here's a very rare struck SUD in silver, 1812, also from Richard Long: KM 234.a 27.7 grams
