weigh it with a gram scale
it should weigh in at 6.7+ grams

There are a lot of knock off 1715 fleet gold coins out there
but if it weighs in properly go to a reputable coin show
and have a few specialists take a look
before you decide what to do with it
and or what it is worth
Oh by the way, its not a cob its a Doubloon
