I've never been in love with cobs, they always seemed too crude. But in the last few months I've really started to jones for them.

In the opening sequence of the new pirates movie, a boy is holding a pretty substantial almost-real-looking cob (for once in a movie they didn't use silver covered plastic!).

Show me some cobs, people. I want to see big, beefy, crude 8 reales. I know you got 'em!

I've always wanted to add a few Silver 8 Reales to my aquarium.

Of course I'd _Rather have a bunch of Gold Cobs sparkling from the bottom of the tank....

Atocha Grade 1 8 Reales from Potosi, assayer M. First dated cob from that mint, 1617. You can see the bottom of the digits at 11:00 on the reverse.
