Thanks for all the info. I will have to find a way to weigh it to determine whether it is a 1/2 or a one reale. Is there a link available to a picture that would show a similar cob with more detail? When these are found are they always this worn, or were they just not 'stamped' hard enough when made (if that is the right term) or do they just suffer a lot of wear from being in circulation?
To Hollowpoint, it was about 5 inches deep. But, I'm sure this field has been turned over quite a bit through the years.
It amazes me how you guys were able to ID this so fast with so little detail left on the coin. You guys rock !!!
Thanks again,
