Late 1600s Lima Cob

[toasted]

Got a few keepers today from one of my cob sites. Scored my first identifiable Lima Peru cob. Looks like 1685 or 95 possibly which would both be right for the R assayer. It was a 1 real clipped down to 1/2 real size too which is pretty common for me. Also got the big chunk of pewter/lead that had me thinking 8 real cob for a bit

Nice. I see what looks like a pretty clear 86 below the cross.

What I like about those cobs is the possibility of 3 dates on each coin. You got 2 on yours.

I dont think I have any dug Lima cobs.

Pretty sure you surpassed me on the cobs. I got prob 40 or 50 cut pistareens though.

Very jealous of that but wish I could understand why they arent in my area. Im okay with finding cobs instead though

Or Mass silver! lol. You are definitely zoned in on the right sites but it dont seem like the cut pistareens are there to begin with.
