The same thing happens to me (on Ebay) when I do:

file - save as - web page complete

I don't personally have reason to save whole web pages very often.

Ossy, I guess you are talking about the strange Atocha coin. Not sure what happened to that one. If I made that one I wouldn't show it to anyone. :laughing7:

Hi Stan, the Potosi 8R looks good, I have a Atocha 8R Potosi Assayer Q only half as good. Very temping.
The cave hoard cobs, Ive been waiting for one with a date and clear assayer, do you think he has any?
Cheers, Ossy

These were undated coins, but assayer R should be Baltasar Ramos Leceta, 1596-1612. Yes, it is an all around nice coin. Good weight too. I expect it will get some attention and the price will climb, but you never know. It may end up being a deal. It is much nicer than my dated Atocha too, if you consider the overall quality. Of course, it was not sitting in salt water for 3 1/2 centuries.

Look at these two rare 1726 Potosi coins. From the cave hoard. I confirmed with the seller, same seller I bought from. As you probably know from my previous postings most of the finds were 1730 dated Mexico 8R coins, assayer G and R.

Also, look at his Mexico 4R form the cave. Somebody obviously thinks this overdate assayer is very rare. Personally, I would rather have the more expensive of the two Potosi coins....

Hi Stan, thanks for the information, I love the Luis1 8 Reale, that's $900 Australian, I will have to sweet talk my wife :laughing7:
I will let you know if I buy it.

Thanks again for keeping us posted..wanted to buy one of these----BUT just paid Florida Real Estate taxes !
Wonder about these sellers---must be much more to this story...hope some one will be able to eventually document this cave 'find'.
The greenies being sold some weeks ago are just a interesting. It boggles my brain to consider how many cobs/coins are actually out there from these years.
 

The two 1726 coins are advertised as Luis I, but there is not any legend on the coins to prove that. If Luis I was the monarch identified on the legend and it was legible on a coin it may be the only example known. Sedwick and Menzel both indicate that Lima changed dies for the 1726 issue to reflect the passing of Luis I and return of Philip V as king. 1726 coins are still considered rare though from what research I have done. I would like to own one, but the asking price is a bit more than I am willing to part with now.

If you are patient I think you will see some of the higher grade 1730 coins appear for sale in the future. Most of the cave cobs were dated in that year.

Yes the greenies were very interesting and I was tempted to buy one in particular because of its strange shape. I like cobs with good character. Perhaps some higher grade greenies will appear for auction too. I might make an impulsive bid. :tongue3:

I am saving entire webpages on eBay so I have the entire story to go with the cob. For some reason its working now. :icon_thumright:
 

Interesting whack mark on this one. Looks funny. Oh yeah, he bought it on Ebay....

Spanish treasure or repro trinkets?

Treasure cob?....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400058758757

If authentic this almost certainly a 1715 fleet coin. You can see the partial date 171X. Chances are extremely high that it is a 1714. Of the 45 dated Mexico 2 escudo coins in Florida's collection, 41 of them are 1714....

Not a bad little wreck coin for a reasonable "buy it now" of $150. I think it would look better in-hand (less shiny). If anyone buys it tell the seller to give you the right cert for that particular coin....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Consolacion-Spanish-shipwreck-8-reales-1679-cob-coin_W0QQitemZ280376371783

Here the coin matches the cert. I think the seller just made a mistake on the other one....
http://cgi.ebay.com/Consolacion-Spanish-shipwreck-8-reales-1679-cob-coin_W0QQitemZ280376371783

This is not a cob, but I found it very interesting....
