Kings2110 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 2:22 pm I just picked this coin up at my local coin shop. I went on the Mel Fisher database and confirmed the coin number. I just wanted to be completely sure and any help is greatly appreciated :) Edited by Kings2110 05/25/2023 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 1426 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 3:20 pm The COA is a bit rough. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50224 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 5:34 pm Does the coin match the certificates photo exactly? John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Kings2110 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 5:41 pm I've taken my time to compare them and I say yes it does. The photo looks really old with really old adhesive. I was just worried that maybe someone faked it a while ago. Report this Post to the Staff

jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1139 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 12:58 am You can collect 8 reales cobs that are not damaged by exposure to seawater. These are, of course, easier to assess for possible authenticity since the weight would not be diminished by corrosion and the coin design should be better defined. With shipwreck dreck you have only the reputation of the issuer of the COA to trust. Consider this -- how would someone else be able to authenticate this coin if you lost the COA?
