No tax on jewelry for the spaniard....funny...I've found it much easier to sell these coins as jewelry/treasure, than as a coin....coin collectors can be a very picky bunch....but treasure enthusiasts are interested in the story as much as the coin !! Easier for me to sell a mounted treasure coin in a bezel than it is an unmounted coin. Im presenting it to a different set of buyers in this form.....the crusty, nerdy numismatist is not my target. Any one can make up a fancy certificate with a story attached. And I will have a cert made....it will be my own cert with a backstory as told here on t-net, and a notarized witness signature by islamoradamark who was there with me.....t-net is an asset to me at this point and any buyer can be directed here to read the story of the find. Ive tried to show one of the most by the book legal recoveries of treasure.....no denying that I was on the beach between the low and high tide marks....the pictures don't lie, and eventually ill put together the video footage. Its very difficult to find in today's day and age a legal spot to actually make a dream like this happen. You sure didn't see Jonah take any pics of the actual recovery of those 22 cobbs he found on the beach....supposedly !! My recovery leaves no doubt to the legality of the find and there are multiple witnesses....not to mention the drivers that saw me screaming and dancing with the road crew !!
I think this cobb is real close to original.....weight is close and appears a bit heavy i believe because of additional sand on it......it is the least corroded coin I've ever pulled...I think...as far as cobbs are concerned. It has very little features and shows just how bad the strike could be....lack of detail is not from corrosion because we have such a close weight !!
now this one here is a bit shy....possibly clipped or shaved....and showing some corrosion loss also....but not much.
