SPANISH COLONIAL MILLED COINS
    The Spanish colonies switched from the crudely hand-struck "cobs" to machine made coins around 1760.  A coherent and popular series, the collectors have been edged out in recent decades by the jewelry and souvenir trades.  These are, after all, the quintessential "pirate coins."  They are also collected by American collectors as colonial coins, which they were, remaining legal tender in the new republic until 1857.
