Lot of 2 Spanish colonial bust 8R fragments, cut into "small change" before the wreck. 34.7 grams total. The bigger piece in this lot (21.7 grams) has nice VF details despite surface corrosion and toning, the missing pieces from two places in the edge apparently clipped and/or broken off in somewhat random fashion; the other coin (13.1 grams) was cut more regularly with two cuts through the center to approximate a half dollar, but with more corrosion and less detail (VG). An interesting pair, to be sure. From: Unidentified early-1800s wreck off Cadiz, Spain
