Hard to tell from pictures, of course, but it looks like a real cob.

HOW COULD U FORGET IT?

Is that the way it come up out of the ground or did you have to clean it up first? Silver usually turns black in a salt environment after much time. Of course it could be a real cob that was purchased at a gift shop by a tourist and then lost at the beach. If it doesn't say copy on it, I would lean toward real. HH

Take a clearer picture of both sides, and put it on the cob section above, just under shipwrecks. I cant tell from the pics, but it looks like a fake, but again, I cant tell from the blurry pics. If you took these pics from a mirror, than maybe it is not a fake, otherwise everything is backwards and it is fake. Mint on wrong side, Hapsburg shield all opposite, everything is opposite, lions and castles wrong, everything. But if you did do some kind of a reverse picture then maybe. Plus there are many guys that can tell you up there. Do take some better pics. It should weigh 27 or 28 + or - grams. Steve.

That's better, I knew it was either backwards, or a complete fake. How did you get the pics backwards? Post this on the Spanish Cobs forum, just under Shipwrecks.

 

[stevemc]

From these pics, I think it is still a fake, but do put it over in the Spanish Cob section.

 

[diggingit]

I might have reversed the other pics while editing them for posting.

Can you take a picture of the edge. I got one in 2009 a 1/2 mile North of the Pier at The Great Southern Beach Shoot out and it was a Fake. Mine look almost like yours. Good luck on it.!!

Assayer looks like a D, there were 2, one in 1600s and one in 1700s. But I still think it is fake. Get a weight. I am sure it is a fake, too much stuff filled in, and just looks like a bad fake. Post it up in the Spanish Cobs area.
