<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jlblonde, post: 1316412, member: 32000&quot;]One of many fake cobbs found by my grandfather on his ranch in Mexico in the late 1940&#039;s. Consider worthless by him, he gave these to my aunts, uncles and older cousins to use as play money. They are fakes, but they are also silver. Possibly up to 80 or 90%.</p><p><br /></p><p>He found another cash of coins later which turned out to be real silver and gold issues. He sold many pieces to fund a legal battle against the neighboring Haciendados. Because he was new to the area he lost the court battle and most of his land, which made ranching impossible on the only land he was able to keep, a small low mountain range. They immigrated legally to the US in the 1950&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>My father brought this one example of a fake cobb with him.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]148831.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]148832.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
