1689 Cob Found In Rockingham County Va


Recommended Posts

Nice find!  Cob style coinage bring us back to our earliest contact era roots. I've seen them found out west, I have a couple of copper cobs (fractional reales), no silver ones...yet.

Amazing find.   Here on the west coast, we can only dream of finding cobs.  Our earliest European toe-holds only date to the 1770s, at the earliest.   At which time it was milled coins by then, not cobs.   I've heard of at least 2 cobs found here in CA.   They're rare !

Didn't Jerry get one? Thought I remember him telling me
