<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eveharv, post: 886680, member: 25230&quot;]Hello!</p><p>I have 2 gold coins that were found on a beach in England that I was hoping to have identified.</p><p>I know that one is a Spanish cob but I can&#039;t find any information on the other.&nbsp; There is also some damage on both and I&#039;m wondering how that will affect their value.</p><p>The Spanish cob has some grit on it that most likely comes from other metals and sand that were touching it.&nbsp; Some of it came off easily and the gold underneath was not damaged.&nbsp; I do not want to attempt to clean it myself in case I scratch the coin in the process.&nbsp; Is this something a jeweler or coin dealer can do?&nbsp; Does anyone have any information on this particular coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot find any information on the other other coin except for this one photo of it online:</p><p><a href="http://www.allposters.co.uk/gallery.asp?startat=/getposter.asp&amp;APNum=4035786&amp;CID=dfe19598c3a64fe49912e0b56991d417&amp;PPID=1&amp;Search=&amp;f=t&amp;FindID=0&amp;P=1&amp;PP=1&amp;sortby=PD&amp;c=c&amp;page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.allposters.co.uk/gallery.asp?startat=/getposter.asp&amp;APNum=4035786&amp;CID=dfe19598c3a64fe49912e0b56991d417&amp;PPID=1&amp;Search=&amp;f=t&amp;FindID=0&amp;P=1&amp;PP=1&amp;sortby=PD&amp;c=c&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.allposters.co.uk/gallery.asp?startat=/getposter.asp&amp;APNum=4035786&amp;CID=dfe19598c3a64fe49912e0b56991d417&amp;PPID=1&amp;Search=&amp;f=t&amp;FindID=0&amp;P=1&amp;PP=1&amp;sortby=PD&amp;c=c&amp;page=1</a></p><p>All I know is that it has the Medici coat of arms on it (so possibly Italian??)</p><p>It also has a small crack in the center.&nbsp; It has a diameter of 23mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any information would be very much appreciated.&nbsp; Also, any advice on how to sell gold coins, who to trust, etc. would be helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
