Re: cob

thanks guys,

thats what i thought it might be but I dont know a whole lot about these type of spanish coins..So i defer to the experts...

I use to wear it on a chain but not anymore because I'm not into jewelry only like to find it..

also got a few like it that look like black shell encrusted messes...one of theses days i'll get them cleaned up and see what they look like..probuly not much

Re: cob

Rob,
Yes, do get those other "cookies" or "brownies" cleaned up and bring them back for ID. There are quite a few real experts in this field that monitor and assist this thread and look forward to seeing new material.
