Thanks Ill save the entire page. The amount of repros on the market is kinda scary and they are getting better.

Look at all the 1715 greenies! Click on one of the coins and then look at the enlarged version of the whole pile of coins. I'm green with envy!

These were found by Joel Ruth after Hurricane Jeanne somewhere north of Sebastian Inlet. He stated that there were so many that he was picking them up off the sand without his detector. It got dark and the tide was coming in so he decided to quit for the night. The next morning, he couldnt find a single cob. The sand had already buried them. It is a small window of oppurtunity.

I have the newspaper article somewhere but this was all I could find online. Second story.

Another repro for the Cypress file. What a waste of good gold (well 19g of something). This thing looks like it is a repro of a repro......

1715? I don't think so. The Flying Heart sank in Dutch waters in 1735.

Includes "auction flippet". Is that supposed to be the certificate of authenticity?

You are correct Divewrecks. Its a gold repro of a pot metal repro. I have this exact cob. I need to take pics tommorrow and post them. I knew it looked familiar.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

OK here it is. These gold replicas are made from a replica that is sold at McClartys Museum in Sebastian.
The first pics (black background) are from eBay, second pics (wood background) are mime.

The Lima 8 E looks pretty used up.

Silver copy's, none have copy stamped on them, I will post them if you like when I get home.

I like this one. It may be authentic, but it is certainly not 1715. Looks more like part of a 1740 coin from SFDB. Even says, "Reign of Ferdinand VI."

Cert doesn't seem to indicate it is from a wreck. It says this at the bottom: "This coin conforms to the highest standards used in evaluating ancient coins of this type and is from the Mel Fisher private family collection. This coin was re-certified on Wednesday August 10, 2008."

Sunday PM...

A very good deal for $125 IMHO. You can see parts of two dates. Listed as a "buy it now" item. I would buy it if I hadn't spent so much shopping this weekend. Let me know if you buy it...
http://cgi.ebay.com/SPANISH-SHIPWRECK-1669-SILVER-POTOSI-8-REALE-COB_W0QQitemZ220434981837QQ

The seller also has another for $125, not quite as nice....

Nice Stan, looks ship wreck, I'm still saving for my Royal

This almost certainly came from the Consolacion wreck (1681) and not "on a beach in the Florida Keys". Hell, there isn't a beach in the Keys!...

CuzcoSquirrel found that one. I don't think they (the Fishers) found it, so won't say which wreck it came from. Or it came from an unidentified wreck in the Keys, You could call them with that coin ID number and ask them to look it up.
