Spanish Cob! 1 Reale and liberty caps.

[SouthJerseyJim]

Had a really good day at a new old site along the river. Found my first cob that survived very well. I also found 2 Liberty Caps 1 half cent 1 large cent. Also found a smoothy 1789 1 reale. Can anyone ID the year variety of the cob?

I think its a 1676 Potosi Bolivia 1 reale. Pretty sure I can see the 76. Def the 6. Look below the castle and you'll see the date.

I think you're right CP. And that date matches up with when the "E" assayer's initial was in use at the Potosi mint (1652-79).

I think your right on. Here's some real nice close ups.
