Was wondering if anyone could possibly identify this as a possible Atocha coin before I purchase it. Since the side is worn where assayer and mint marks are missing, I can't follow tracking it down from listings on Mel Fisher site. Yes, we all know papers can be forged don't we. I would hate to be ripped off...you know. I'd appreciate a professional opinion. Thanks

Welcome to Treasure Net!!
I don't know squat about Atocha coins, but if the CoA can't be authenticated, I'd consider it a generic coin.

May I suggest you also post this under "Cobs?"
You may be able to check this coin out based on the COA.

If you wish to purchase that coin, I'd suggest you pay a price as if the 'Mel Fisher' name were not involved.
Stay on the safe side.
