Hello i found this old coin in Bolivia a couple of years ago. I googled like crazy and tried to find it but i could only find coins that looked a little like it so i lost interest and then i forgot it. Now i found the coin again and i am curious to know how much it is worth. I believe that the coin is made out of silver but i do not know for sure Here is four pictures of the coin. http://img22.imageshack.us/i/p7160005.jpg/ http://img263.imageshack.us/i/p7160006.jpg/ http://img188.imageshack.us/i/p7160007.jpg/ http://img205.imageshack.us/i/p7160008.jpg/ /Thanks
Can't help much with it. If you take a look at #444 on the site below, there's one similar, different date. Also, I found a forum that says the one like your's is heavily faked. Hopefully someone else here can shed some light on it. Good luck! http://www.sedwickcoins.com/treasureauction4/shipwrecks3.htm
Cob 8 reales; pillars/waves, Potosi mint, Philip V, assayer M, dated 1737, grades fine/very fine. Looks like a cast fake though. Doug would be the one who could put a value on it if it is authentic.
