Spanish Silver Dollar Pieces of Eight

[davehky]

Hi i found this Spanish Silver Dollar metal detecting Sauturday,12/4/2010.On one side it says omd.i am sure that it says M,but can be artwork above the M or below the M.I seen someones on ebay and it did have omd,so im not sure.

How much can i get for this and where is best to sell it?

I dug it up in a nice place with lots of history in Mass.

Thanks for all that relpy ...

No one is trying to discourage you. This is a definite and very popular replica. Don't take my word for it though, post it on the Cobs forum.

First note to self...."NEVER USE E_BAY AS A RESEARCH TOOL"!!That place is full of scams and people that dont have a clue!!We wont steer ya wrong.A piece of 8 is a cut off piece of an 8 real...yours is more like a Cobb

Kuger: You may want to clarify this: "A piece of 8 is a cut off piece of an 8 real...yours is more like a Cobb".
Actually, a 'piece of 8' is NOT a cut off a piece of an 8 real; it's the entire 8-reales coin. A piece off an 8 real is considered a 'bit' and 8-reales are found divided into eights (one 'bit') or quarters (two 'bits') or half a 'piece of eight' (4 bits).

Thanks Mac,not the way I have always been told,as an 8 reale is an 8 reale,and the "bits",are then pieces of 8?I know your knowledge far exceeds mine in this dept,though so I digress

Again I dont know if the piece in question is real or not but welcome!!!
