Found a cob

[thumper580]

Found a 1691 Spanish cob with a Lima mint mark and a "R" assayers mark. Found in a corn field in central virginia. Go figure. Any idea on value?

Dulce! About 300 years ago somebody had a very bad day when they lost that nice coin - and now you've had a very good day finding it!

Good luck to all,

Great find! Spanish silver was legal tender here for 250 years so it's not as rare a find as I once thought but still,,, a killer find. How often does anyone find something from the 1600's? Congratulations.

If you follow todays finds, then you will see lots of 17th C Spanish, & some French, even some English hammered from the 16th C. (Mostly from the East coast, some from Canada)

Patriot you do know there's other uses for a shovel when those things happen too often.
