[MORE AND BEYOND OSSY]

G'day Trez, I am doing great, thanks for asking, Hope life is treating you better
Stan, eagle eye, I was a bit worried, thinking the Chinese had perfected the annealing process, and you are spot on, as always
with the lack of heat causing the cracks.

I checked the mint figures to make sure you weren't hiding anything....

I would go with a 1713 if you see any of those lying around....

Hey, I didn't even know about the Heritage auction. Please post any future auctions you hear about....

Too good to be true....

http://cgi.ebay.com/SPANISH-COBB-REALE-SILVER-1715-HISPANIOLA-TREASURE-SHIP-/260594001676

If it was real this fully dated fleet coin would probably sell at auction for over $1000. Note the porosity in the casting, no cert or authenticty claim, and no return policy.

Buyer beware....

I have that fake. I lone it out to my sister's school when they do Spanish history. I figure it's such a nice fake that at least that way it gets some use.

 

[divewrecks]

If I thought it was real I would be all over that $145 buy-it-now button. I saw it just a few minutes after it was listed and would be too worried someone else would get it.

I didn't see that one on Sedwick's fakes, but I'm pretty sure Big C has it. Now we just need to get a web site to post his collection.

Where do these people come up with these prices?

I guess the two pieces of coral makes this one worth more per gram.
