Cob needs ID

[Scrappy]

I found this today. I contacted a pal and he had trouble ID-ing in his books. It almost looks like it has a fish on it....

Hopefully someone can help!

Thanks

Steve

Hello Steve,

It's Mexico mint and Charles II. Date range for Chuckie II is 1665 - 1700.
The give away for Charles II is the single upside down arch by the crown which you can see clearly.
Nice piece, now go find some more.

Thanks for post,
Trez

Thanks guys. Is there a way to narrow the date with the details visible?

Geez your tough...must be a Jersey thing...yo Vinnie whats da year baby !!!

isn't 4 decades close enough? You can sometimes narrow date...but it takes time to study the elements visible and then reference them and blah blah blah.
I can provide such for...lets say....hmmm....the next 2 reales you find? or unopened bottle of Rum...my choice.
Just kidding, it does take effort especially when not much is visible...Realeswatcher if he was around is a master at such.
Trust me, you found a nice Charles II Mexico Mint reales...between 1665-1700.

Trez, what has happened to Realeswatcher? Haven't seen him post on any of the forums (not just TNet) in a while. Whenever he posted, it was best to pull up a chair because school was in session. Amazing wealth of knowledge.

Oh man, I knew moving to Jersey that I would be put in that group! I'm an Eastern Long Islander for 25 years so I sound more like, "hey der bub, what's the year on dat der coin? Now let's go clammin' and drink a Budweiser der guy" lol.

Thanks for the input bud
