Cobs and such..... Authenticity check.

[ted750]

Hey T-Netters, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off with either of these coins which I purchased a while ago, the one on the top I payed 80 bucks for, I'm pretty sure it's authentic, but not 100%. The date on it is 1714, so I was thinking possible shipwreck coin? Sure looks like others I've seen off the fleet. The second coin is an Atocha cob which I bought for 200, I have the certificate somewhere but I didn't feel like tearing my room apart to find it. Please, if you would, give me an authenticity check on them and I guess a value, just to make sure I didn't get ripped off. Thanks in advance,

- Ted

whats the description / info on the tag that the atocha coin pouch holds (I can see a bit of the tag in your photo
I also have several of said coins but better grade

The pictures are kinda dark ted, but I dont see anything that jumps out saying that they are not real.
What do they weigh in grams?

I'm pretty sure I've seen this coin posted some where else

I wish we had better pics. The best lighting is to take the picture outside in sunlight. If you must inside, halogen is best, flash off. The pics are good but crappy lighting.
