Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 07:45 am Sorry but it is a replica of an eight escudos. It has a 1736 date and also a 1750 date, being a complete fantasy. These sell in beach shops for about $1.99 each as supposed pirate money. Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 11:48 pm This coin looks like the common fake listed as #FC53679 on the Daniel Sedwick coin site under his "Modern Pirates" library of fake cobs to look out for. This fake has been around for a long time, used to be quite common on ebay. Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to a dealers site but would be happy to share in a private message. All cob collectors should be aware of this great database. Report this Post to the Staff
