Second gold coin this week. My first 1715 treasure coin.

After my good fortune in finding that 1926 commemorative quarter eagle, I thought I should hit the beach to see if I was on a streak. And sure enough I found this Spanish treasure coin in Vero Beach.

I can't see a mint mark, but I believe this one was minted in China!

You think it's fake?

It is a great find regardless

The first picture looks like a Spanish Reale to me . BUT either way it is a great find !

 

[BennyV]

Reminds me of this.

 

[Tony in SC]

Still a cool find! My Spanish silver from Vero turned out to be a Mexican belt buckle

Yes it's a cheap fake tourist coin

BennyV nailed it, it's an exact match...

Yup, fake, just like the one I found a few days ago.....

This one had the appearance of having been in the wet sand or water for some time. It was up the slope in a little seaweed line, and not very deep. Showed up like a penny on the Legend. Looking at the edge it does appear to made of copper.

I found one in Lake Tahoe a few years ago. Pretty sure there were no Spanish shipwrecks there.

It doesn't take long for junk metals to get crusty in salt water. Look at our zinc cents for example.

For sure. This seems to have a copper base.
