<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2447927, member: 112&quot;]If you can post some pictures of your actual coin we might be able to help with identifying the mint where it was made. The info mentioned above about the mint marks is correct.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes they can, but more often not. About the only ones that can be traced to a certain wreck are those where the entire mintage of a given coin was on the ship. And with the coin you are asking about, a 1636 Antwerp ducaton - that was not the case. So no, your coin cannot be traced to a particular wreck.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse (heads) - Philip IV By The Grace of God King of Spain and the Indies</p><p>reverse - Archduke of Austria Duke of Burgundy and Brabant</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that depends on how you define valuable. Similar coins in that condition are being offered for sale or have sold for anywhere from $100-$200.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am referring to the coin you pictured here - the obverse of the coin has minor corrosion, the reverse is pretty much completely corroded - as a general rule this greatly lessens its value. It is what is called a problem coin and is ungradeable in that condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your coin, without pictures of it there is no way to estimate its value or condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
