<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 6629194, member: 92655&quot;]Hi and welcome to the forum! I am not an expert, but I do have an interest after having found one of these on the South Carolina coast years ago. They are called Spanish Cobbs because they are hand struck. The are also known as Spanish Reale&#039;s. The size of the coin does determine whether it is two, four or eight Reale&#039;s and that size roughly mimics the size of our US coins. The Cobb in your photo above would be two Reale&#039;s. Four Reale&#039;s is about the size of a half dollar and eight reale&#039;s about the size of a silver dollar...... Sadly, [USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER] is correct. The pieces on the necklace aren&#039;t genuine and that isn&#039;t uncommon, however it does appear the piece you are showing in the photo next to the quarter may be authentic..... These aren&#039;t usually too terribly expensive really. It&#039;s like with any coin, there are certain characteristics, mintmarks and the like that can make some more valuable than others. I&#039;ll add a link below (I hope) that will take you to Daniel Sedwick&#039;s website. He specializes in Spanish Cobbs and you should find plenty to peruse over on his site. Welcome again!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwighJau0aHvAhWjElkFHXVfDXUQFjAAegQIARAE&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sedwickcoins.com%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw2wK69y6qeHFvuVTuSo2VsO" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwighJau0aHvAhWjElkFHXVfDXUQFjAAegQIARAE&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sedwickcoins.com%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw2wK69y6qeHFvuVTuSo2VsO" rel="nofollow">www.sedwickcoins.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
