<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 1665575, member: 19250&quot;]You sir are very welcome! Enjoy your find....good luck finding more. The area you found it was there ever a tavern or hotel like establishment?&nbsp;&nbsp; Many of these cobs are also holed as sailors would wear then around their necks one reason while they slept no one could steal it and two if the ship went down it was around their neck if they lived they had their money. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;One other tid bit I know you have heard of 2 bit 4 bits 6 bits a dollar...well most cobs struck were 8 reales and if you would pay for your purchases by cutting the cob thus pieces of eight. There were very few smaller reales made as they cut the 8&#039;s to make change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
