Nice piece of cob T Hunter I would say green check on this one I would say too but Im afraid to upset anyone else after my experience with an angry TN member. Online chat can be easily misunderstood. With what we can see, I dont think any further ID can be made. I would like to add that it is most likely minted in Spanish Colonial Mexico. |

Just an off the subject question while the cob experts are here: Were the cut pistareens ever counterfeited as cut pieces? It seems they might have been easier to pass if there was less design to scrutenize? I can't find any info on it though..  |

Don't know for sure but a cut non silver coin would probably look different at the sharp edge. |
I'm as dirty as I look!
