    A guy is selling these two
    Coins near me, and I was wondering if they are authentic and what they are worth. They look heavily polished. Any ideas what they are?

    They seem to copy Spanish colonial "cob"-style silver coins. These types have been extensively copied, and I would only buy them from a reputable dealer with experience in the series. These do not look authentic to me, and I would not buy them at all.

    They are sadly copies, if you need a good reputable dealer I recommend SedwickCoins they have great selection and good prices.

    I second the recommendation for Sedwick. They have a couple auctions a year and you can search the internet for previous auction results.
