Priced too high I think, but kinda like it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1687-Lima-Peru-Spanish-Cob-2-Reales-Charles-II-Coin_W0QQitemZ110384616817


This one will be gone (sold) when you see it. Surprised it is at $261 now....

I think I would invest in a camera and/or imaging software...

http://cgi.ebay.com/gold-doubloon-8-escudo-UNA-ONZA-1714_W0QQitemZ220418920957


Instead of making fake cobs I think I will make a fake counterstamp. $840?

The guy claims he is knowledgeable, but it is clearly a 1712 "ufo" back. It does have some interesting secondary strike marks that are somewhat consistent with the actual method used. It would be interesting to see if the design fading actually matches up with low points on the coin planchette. He really comes off as misleading and a huckster.

I went back and read the description and really cracked up. I was in a hurry and mentioned the item just because it was green. What a story....

"obtained this coin from known people"

Ever think about getting a cert?

"This coin has been inspected and is easy to identify by authorities (Jewelers)"

Most jewelers don't even know what a cob is....

"I have a holed coin (burial coin, and a "piece of eight' around my neck, and it is really fun. People just HAVE to touch it, and I bask in it's light LOL."

Dude you are standing entirely too close to me. I'm calling the cops....

With that Brazillian circulated cob, the guy is saying it was valued at 480 Reis and then devalued to 600 Reis, which is in the wrong order. The significance of this is that it is a pre-post mint scandal coin, refelcting a devaluation in a Portugese colony. I know Sedwick has a bunch of Brazillian circulated cobs for sale right now. It would probably be easy to check this.
