<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AtochaFan, post: 1318563, member: 34717&quot;]I have a silver coin from the &quot;Atocha&quot; shipwreck that my mother bought in November of 1996. It is a &quot;Genuine TreasureCoin,&quot; mounted in a bezel with an &quot;Atocha Emerald.&quot; I have the an &quot;Appraisal Certificate&quot; and a &quot;Certificate of Authenticity&quot; with this information: </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Number: 95A-2099 </p><p>Denomination: 8 Reales</p><p>Reign: Philip III </p><p>Mint: Potosi </p><p>Assayer: T 1618-21 </p><p>Weight: 25.90 </p><p>Grade: One (1) </p><p><br /></p><p>Mom wants to sell it. First off, I need to get an idea what it might be worth now. I know how much she paid for it then, so I could ball park it, and hope for the best, but I thought I would ask here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, I am having a hard time trying to describe it. Is this coin (singular) a &quot;pieces of eight&quot; or a &quot;piece of eight&quot;? Does that eight refer to &quot;8 reales&quot;? What is a &quot;4 reales&quot;? </p><p><br /></p><p>(*Sigh* I got a lot to learn.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
