Silver booty - retitled

[whynot]

Here are some silver coins recovered a few years ago off the coast of "Florida". The information I had about them was second-hand, however, they appear to be genuine. In any case, I am having them appraised by an expert, just to be sure. I just wanted to share with y'all. Sorry for some of the blurring.... Still learning to make high quality, small size pics.... er.. lol, blurry big pics

The update below is from the appraiser. I was told they came from a shipwreck but the appraiser says not... I have updated the title to reflect same.

Get a digital camera with a Macro lens, that will help for closeups. That is some awesome looking silver

I would love to have anything from a 300+ year old ship wreck. Good luck on your authentication and let us know how it turns out.

Re: Shipwreck booty - Silver

From noted appraiser (see banner at top of page):
Those coins are 8 reales (the large coins) and a 2 reales, all from the Potosi mint in Bolivia, struck in the early 1600s. They do not come from a wreck. The small one is interesting because it has a countermark applied in Guatemala in 1663. At least the coins look genuine to me.

-WooHoo
The large coins weighed in at 26.5-27g each (1oz) and the small one at 7g (.2oz)...
The dollar appraisal seemed a bit low to me, but the sentimental value is priceless...

Thanks for the macro lens idea, spartacus.

Now I'm confused. Your title implies one thing & the underlined implies another

They look good to me
