Hello to all. I wanted ask for some help from all of you that know about coins. I bought these at a garage sale on Sat. Does anyone know if these Atochas have a little value? How about that silver dollar? I sincere thank you and appreciate your help and feedback.

Hi There,
Authentic Atocha coins do have value way beyond melt and non-shipwreck coins in similar condition, and nicely carved love tokens like yours can also have a premium (3x melt and up based on various factors). One issue with authenticity of your Atocha coin is that he COA which came with your (8 Reales?) pendant references a silver ingot, not a coin. In this case your "coin" might have been newly minted using silver extracted from an ingot found on the Atocha, which would still give it value over melt (I'd guess ~$100-200?), but definitely not as much as an authentic period coin from the Atocha. Just some thoughts. Hope this helps.

they are curiosities but not of much value beyond the silver content.
