Silver or Gold

Is there a place on this site that I can educate myself on what a cob is and why at times I see pics of what seems to be coins cut in triangulate shape.
Thanks

Way back in time 18th century & before many round coins were cut to ½ & ¼ to be called half cents, half dimes, etc. Lots are found in Britain & Europe.
