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?

What's on the other side of that Bar copper? THat could be the best one of the bunch?
I have not seen that variety. Don't clean it until someone corrects me, but it might be very rare.

Am I smoking weed or is this a Bar Cent variety?

Its a button with 13 lines. I thought it was pretty cool. No idea about its ID though.

Rats I was hoping for USA on the other side. This I would think would have to be patterned after the 1786 Bar cent copper

Banner day!!!!! I would love to have a day like that.

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Thanks all. No real good features on the liberty caps unfortunately. The back of the half cent is decent but the obverses suck I'll definitely be back looking for some more spanish though.

What a great day Jim! What exactly is on the reverse of that "Bar" coin. Is it a coin??

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Thanks Hogge. Its actually a button. About the size of a nickel. With dots bordering. The back is a plain shank. Maybe it's some kind of patriotic scheme. The 13 lines might be for the colonies. Not sure though.
