    THIS COIN, CALLED COB, WERE MADE FROM SLABS OF SILVER.  WHICH WERE ROLLED INTO
    ELONGATED SHAPES OF VARIOUS THICKNESSES SLICES WERE MADE BY METAL  SHEARS OR
    CHISELED BY HAND TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER WEIGHT.
    THIS PROCESS ACCOUNTS FOR THE IRREGULAR EDGES. THE BLANKS WERE HEATED AND ANNEALED,
    THEN HAMMERED BETWEEN CRUDELY
    ENGRAVED DIES. THE COINS WERE MINTED IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN COLONIES MADE  WITH
    POOR  WORKMANSHIP  AND WITHOUT PROPER
    EQUIPMENT OR SUPERVISION.  OFTEN  THE COINS WERE STRUCK BY INDIAN  OR SLAVE LABOR.
    THE SPANISH AUTHORITIES WERE UNCONCERNED WITH THE SHAPE OF THE COIN ONLY WITH THE
    FINENESS AND WEIGHT, WHICH WAS
    GUARANTEED BY THE ASSAYERS MARK.
    !!!!!!  HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK  !!!!!!
