This coin is even older than you think and not a cob. It is a Philip V, Pillar, one "real" of Mexico from 1745. He died in 1747. It has so much wear that it may well have circulated for a hundred years and been lost in 1845, or for that matter could be a kid's "show and tell" lost recently. The hole gives it character. It would have been worth 12.5 federal cents or one "bit." Great find!
