I hit a little Jackpot and I need some help

Postby Thogey » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:08 pm

I bought a cigarbox full of, mostly junk coins for 20 bucks, included were these.

The one on the right is a spanish? cob 8 reale. It is silver. It is broken, but I understand its uncommon to have a complete piece or even both pieces of a single bar because these where broken as a course of trade.

Can anyone tell me more about these. What years would this be from I want to sell it. Should I have it authenticated. Some of these go on e-bay for a few hundred bucks.

Any info would be appreciate

Thanks but I have way too much of this miscellaneous stuff..piles of it.

I want liquid forms of PMs. That's how I started but I still keep coming across this kind of stuff.

Doc, Should I send the cob to be graded/authenticated? I'd rather stack ASE's

You can see it's broken in two pieces but together it's 2 inches long and 1inch wide almost exactly.

I weighs 23 grams.

Sounds like it may fit in an oversized holder. If a person sent it in here is what could happen: No grade keep your money, No grade refund your money, or grade.

Thats the only shakes I can see being delt out.

Top left one is Roman, writing is the same on the right side as the coin in the link provided, but I can't tell if it's a different emperor. From a similar time period though, probably 200 to 300AD
