Lot of 2 coins: One Mexico cob 8R Philip V assayer J with loop and chain; one puffy black "encrusted coin." 36.78 grams total. The 8R in this lot is decent, with good cross, interesting shape, no corrosion but worn, with patchy dark toning, its once soldered-on loop and chain now separate (minor repair necessary, or trash the chain and keep the coin); the other piece is a totally oxidized "blackie" coin fragment. The 8R with 1989 certificate from the salvager, and the encrusted coin with Cobb Coin Co. (Fisher) tag #13150. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
