Here is this guy's reply. Feel free to contact him through his auction.... ;D

Hi Stan. This shouldnt be a replica, I purchased this at a coin convention
in Los Angeles as a silver reales coin and not a replica. I dont make
replicas, I wouldnt know how. -salgarcia91744

He may not make the replica, but he's mates in China do :wink:
I sent him an email, they don't even look like silver.

Just for info, it is easy to report an auction for a fraudulent item on Ebay. For a cob you would click on "Report Item" on the right side of the page, then choose the drop down "Prohibited (Banned Items)", and then "Currency, Coins, Stamps, Coupons, etc." and finally "Fraudulently or Improperly Described Currency" and click the "Continue" button. Then enter a "Brief Description" and click the "Send Report" button. You will get an email auto response, but no one from Ebay will contact you. They will evaluate it and if there are sufficient grounds or enough complaints they will terminate the auction.

Kind of a cool little cob, even holed. Wonder where the $81.50 marked price came from?....

Now this is what is what a real "clipped" cob looks like....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Lucernae-Philippus-V-8-reales-silver-Potosi-1744_W0QQitemZ290399537521

Looks later than Atocha....$425! for that mounting ring!....

Haunted cob? What a dumb attempt to sell a soldered mount fantasy coin....

OK, if you are looking here is something worth bidding on if the price stays reasonable....

Kind of a neat 1715 fleet coin. Earlier date than most fleet coins. Probably 1650's....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Beautiful-Authentic-Coin-Pendant-From-Ship-Wreck_W0QQitemZ110494015202

The dots above the "P" and "R" are confusing me. Not is the Menzel book, have to get another book from my library....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Bolivia-Phillip-II-nd-8-Reales-Good-to-Very-Good_W0QQitemZ130366692021

This looks much better than those expensive "real" coins....
http://cgi.ebay.com/1622-ATOCHA-2-REALE-TREASURE-SHIPWRECK-COIN-14K-BEZEL_W0QQitemZ310200404095

Could be a 1715 fleet coin, but "no returns accepted"....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Very-Appealing-8-Reales-Cob-Shipwreck-Coin_W0QQitemZ290401836603

I like this coin, even with the hole....Potosi piller & wave coins are my personal faves....

Yeah, it should say it is only worth 1/6th as much since it is plugged and it was done in such a crappy fashion! The cert is pretty funny too" "I hereby certify that I have studied photos...." :icon_scratch:

No, I think this one is hand struck. There were some beautiful Rooswjik klippe coins sold at a Pomterio auction a few years back though....
