I just sucked it up, and bought my first COB!

Ive been waiting and looking for a while... my guy has all the elements I was looking for..
nice legible elements... date, castles and lions to boot, nice counterstamp (quadruple struck!)
hole does not ditract for me...

Ill reimage when I finally get it, but I think this is still a nice image!

desc: 8 reales, 1703H, with quadruple-struck Guatemala c/m (Type II, 1843) on cross, scarce coin with 2 dates, full pillars, nice but off-center cross, (PHIL)IPPVS in legend, brown-toned About Fine, typically holed at edge.

    YOU SUCK!

    I have wanted a holey cob for a long time, but haven't found one that I both liked AND was willing to cough up the loot for!

    I guess I haven't "sucked it up" enough, yet.

    I want that!

    Hole or not, bet it wasn't cheap, hmm? image

    Shoot, I would settle for a little cob half-real or 1-real.

    That you got an eight, and a counterstamped one, to boot, makes you suck all the more.

    a cob adds a lot to ANY collection! Virtually the very definition of pirate coins!
