10/23 Report - 7 Thousand Dollar Silver Cob & "Bubble" Cobs

Piece of Eight Showing Bubble Hole.This is a photo of a cob listed in the recent SedwickCoins auction and described as having a bubble hole.It is not extremely uncommon to find holes like this in Mexican cobs of the 1715 Fleet. It is more unusual to find bubble holes from cobs of other mints.One auction listed a similar cob as being pierced, which is probably not how the hole was created.Alan
