<p>[QUOTE="sand, post: 7441883, member: 118540"]It looks like a fake. The side with the cross, looks like an early (before 1652) 8 reales Spanish colonial cob coin, from the Potosi/Bolivia mint. The other side looks fake, as far as I know, although I'm not an expert. I've looked at a lot of cob coins, and I've never seen a cob, with "Eight Reales Silver Cob" written in English. An early Potosi cob should have a cross on one side, and a shield on the other side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
