My hunting buddy dug this one last weekend at a site where we have dug many Charles II and Phillip V 1/2 real cobs. This one is a little larger than the 1/2 real cobs, but not much larger. I havent had a chance to weigh it, but im guessing it could be a 1 real cob. I know its pretty worn, but was hoping someone might be able to give me an idea as to when it was made. Thanks

For starters, Mexico City mint.
Once you weigh it, you'll know the denomination (using 27 g. as a guide for an 8 R cob coin).
Coin appears to have PHI for Philip.
Don..
 

Your friend is definitely getting his licks in with some great finds!

Thanks Don. The other 9 have been Mex City and Charles II and Phillip V. So since you say you see a Phi, i think there is a good probability that it might be Phillip V. Although the others have all been 1/2R's, and im really thinking this one is prob a 1R.
