<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8217187, member: 19250&quot;]8 reale broken or cut for payment , if the shield wasn&#039;t&nbsp; such a mess i could tell you what date mint and assayer. I have to pull out an old book to ID the cross...and the essayer looks to be an O, an the specimen&nbsp; looks like a beach find.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The cross is the Greek Cross 1571-1652 Potosi&nbsp; &amp; early Lima mints.</p><p>Philip lll, or lV from the shield, and cross it falls within the dates known for the cross and shield combination.</p><p>If the assayer mark is O&nbsp; that narrow down the date to 1649 - 1651 that also narrows down to Philip lV as king of Spain. I hope this sheds a little more light on your specimen.</p><p>From you image i say its weight is&nbsp; around 23 /24 grams. Weight on a full cob around 28 grams. Full size images would help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Im guessing no paperwork as it has the time peroid that it could be an Atocha coin. See Atocha Mel Fisher</p><p><br /></p><p>Value $100/145 usd[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
