<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 631953, member: 19250&quot;]I&#039;ll agree to disagree on this one due to the fact of being a surf wreck I have several reale cobs in my collection none like this one . its like drift wood or sea glass that some make jewelry out of.....I understand the minting process first smashing the round bars to flat stock then cutting the flat stock into cob size pieces...next being hammer struck by hand&quot; not always a good strike or a centered one. next being given to the assayer to weight and them trimed to around 25/28 gr. the weight of a 8 reale. What does puzzle me is this on this cob.... most beach wrecks cobs are pitted from the sand and salt. this cob has no pits. Maybe due to the fact that it was not in the sea as long as others I have seen. But I do respect your view on this cob and just happy to share a bit of knowage of the wreck and a really neat coin in my collection. Regards Paddy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
