We all know the story, so I guess his signature would worth something.

I have seen the Atocha 4 reale coins go for $300 to $900 with grade 1 at the high end. It all depends on what someone is willing to pay for it.

Curious what you paid for it at a garage sale?

Yes, a very nice score!

The grading is there on the receipt, so that is good. It is a little light, so perhaps you could provide an image of the coin, that may also help some with the valuation.

There is also a dedicated topic to Spanish Cobs here on TNET.
