What is the diameter (mm) of a coin?
I'll take a guess: Philip V of Spain.

Very approx (coral in way) I would say 1 inch?

You may have to separate them to get a full I.D but it looks to be English. Possibly Edward V around the turn of the 20th century. You may want to post something of known size to compare. This will give a better idea of denomination. Nice find! In the ocean? on the beach? Wreck site?

That is too cool! Looks like a coral and silver sandwich. Nice find! DDinPA.

Wow....I'd hit that area hard!

 

[Mackaydon]

Cudamark,
Edward V of England ruled for just a few days during the year 1483. Was there another Edward V of (??) who ruled "around the turn of the 20th century"?

nice find,i would hit the spot again, i think a electrolysis bath,will break the coral off
sorry cant see enough of coins to help with ID, very cool find

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

It may be worth more as is. I would be hesitant to seperate them. Its very unique and may get some good bids on eBay or auction.

Cobs are not round.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Like I posted on the other forum: Right now you have something from a Spanish shipwreck thats very unique and desirable. If you seperate them, all you will have is a handful of damaged coins with no shipwreck connection.

I hope I am not too late with the advice. Im sure Mackaydon can ID them with the size and more pic.

Oh really? Since when! It's a Spanish cob coin I'm 100% positive!!

You might want to tell every person on the Internet advertising this coin as a Spanish cob that they are wrong then!

You might want to tell the experts on this sight that they are wrong lol :-)
