Found this yesterday. Looks to be a half real cob. You can see what looks like part of a cross. It weighs 1.1 grams, and appears kind of small though, or at the very least maybe it was cut/clipped?

There is no detail on the reverse, unfortunately. Can anyone guess what date range this would fit into if it is?

Yeap, a cob you lucky b.
 

Thanks ARRC! I did believe you, but figured posting here will help with a date range, etc. Wanted to have more certainty before posting here.

Crusader, if I recall, of the many things in your extensive collection, a cob still eludes you?

Deleted my post...

The EXACT date on this would be a miracle...
Tis is bad shape.
 

BUT...
LOOKS LIKE a pillar and wave ...
minted at either... Bogota, Potosi, Cartagena, or Lima mint...
in the time of 1651 to 1773.

Maybe someone else here like Don can chime in on this as well...
I am not sure if it can be "brought out/back" enough to gain more knowledge on exact date or not.
