Fake?

Please pardon the very blurry pic. This is being auctioned as a "shipwreck coin" with a partial date of "161-".

This look legit to anyone? I think I already know the answer but would like more knowledgable input.

Yes, looks perfectly legit for a 1600s Spanish copper cob.

The top notch in the coin could be from were the coin was struck when made, but the bottom one was purposely cut to check metal content, so I would say this is the real deal...cool find
