<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eire73, post: 1045032, member: 27047&quot;]The cob looks to be from a beach wreck, from the smoothness of its edges. It&#039;s hard to read the COA even with it enlarged. I do a web search ie google etc. see what you can find . 2 and 4 reales are harder to find as most spanish cobs were 8 reales. Cobs were then cut into the amount you spent. thus pieces of 8. Example if you had a meal and drink at a tavern and your bill was 5 reales the coin was cut into the amount of silver that you owed. Most cobs that were 8&#039;s I believe were around 27 g. heres a link for you to look at <a href="http://www.coinsite.com/content/faq/8RealesMilledPillar.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsite.com/content/faq/8RealesMilledPillar.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsite.com/content/faq/8RealesMilledPillar.asp</a> &amp; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_real" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_real" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_real</a> There is tons of stuff you can find just goggle it Have fun Sam[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
