2 Escudo just found partial date....

[GOHO]

Here is an upclose to the 2 Escudo i found the other day....

Wow, nice. What type site did that come out of? What state, etc...?

 

[Mackaydon]

With the mintmark Mo, not Mxo, and the assayer "J", I'll venture a guess of either 1714 or 1717 since the date appears to be 171(X).
Great looking coin !! About 6.77 grams and .917 fine.

I'm thinking 1714. It may be a match to Florida Collection 11.00594. All these coins feature a crown that is higher on the left side than right from the shield, and a 7 in the date that is very long. The II for the amount usually touches the circular rim of the interior design.

I asked Greg to post the closeups here so we would have something to talk about.

He just made the find the other day. Look at this thread:

Thanks Greg! We look forward to seeing future finds over here in the cob group. Maybe a potential investor will take notice.
