I suspect most of what is on this old Spanish coin's holder is either vague or wrong.

<p>[QUOTE="Lawtoad, post: 4741050, member: 31685"]I am guessing you did some research. It looks from what little bit I was able to find out is that these cob coins were made from roughly cut planchets by striking them with hand dies. This method of manufacture made it so that no two coins look alike. You might be very hard pressed to find any written guide to them. Since it is "pirate money" you would think someone would have attempted some sort of collector or identification guide. I suspect that there is some archeology grad student out there that has researched these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
