"the strap"

$200.00 - $350.00

So back in the day, when cobs were being made by the thousands down in Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico, two techniques were used. They were either poured out individually, or the silver was poured out as a long "strap" of silver. That strap was then very roughly chopped up into the approximately correct size and weight, then each piece was further chopped to the exact weight it needed to me, before finally being struck between the dies and thrown on the pile to be loaded on the mule train and then eventually the ships headed for Spain!
Well, the straps are a pretty cool and unique way to have some silver, and look great in your pirate hoard! So I wanted to offer it in case anyone would like one. I can pour them as either a 5 or 10 ounce strap.
Want something else similar? Message me!
