I hit a little Jackpot and I need some help

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.

Are these teasers for the December KSA's? They are beyond the "cool factor".

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
