<p>[QUOTE="Joe Campbell, post: 8054076, member: 89857"]I buy a lot of stuff that I know nothing about.... Today I picked up a small pile of foreign coins. Nothing too exciting normally but I added a coin that is labeled at least as a ship wrecked cob. I’ve never owner a cob, held a cob or even seen a cob so I thought what the heck.

It weighs 19.8g which I think is a bad sign as an 8 real should be heavier and a 4 real should be lighter. For what it worth the LCS thought it was real (no pun intended) but this is outside his expertise. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea what I’m looking at.
