Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell if these are genuine coins? Or what type of coins they are? Two of the coins have dates of 1651 and 1720. Thanks!
not sure.... where did you get these ? top left looks like a 1720 Spain 4 maravedis.... did a quick date look up on Ebay link :http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spain-4-maravedis-1720-error-struck-off-center-/380959392734?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item58b2f303de&nma=true&si=hLJ85XVbIJT2SOFjGtFoRyUDhFY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
bottom 2 coins look like cobs.... escudos or reales not sure which is which ? I am guessing yours look like escudos. The 2nd coin looks very much like this Spain 8 reales Ebay coin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPAIN-1630-...0651725?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item460cb138cd your coin looks like it has a counterstamp on it on the date side.
You say: Shipwreck Coins? Did you metal detect these? Or are they offered to you as such. If so, I'd be very careful
