<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26375478, member: 86815&quot;]I haven&#039;t posted here for a while and have a fair number of coins to share.</p><p>Here is a coin I purchased from a Provincial Auction House today and attributed to a coin recovered from the HMS Association. I asked the auctioneer for a weight and attribution before the auction&nbsp; but there was no response but I took a chance anyway. On more than one occasions coins have turned up with COA&#039;s or provenance that the Auctioneer simply could not be bothered to list. You won&#039;t often have this happen with specialist coin auctioneers but when you buy from a general auction house , who knows what might turn up?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://media.invisioncic.com/k321387/monthly_2025_08/8RealesAssociationA.jpg.2d5e9895688047d6f4dfa5a91c7fc33e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://media.invisioncic.com/k321387/monthly_2025_08/8RealesAssociationB.jpg.c89a9be7681e5762d99b1c6383a1de35.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe it is a Mexican , mint mark Lima, 8 Reales of Charles II dated 1697 and the Assayer is Francisco Hurtado numbered L13&nbsp; in Daniel Sedwick&#039;s Practical Book of Cobs. I stand to be corrected and will post the weight and anything that accompanies it when it arrives.</p><p>Coins from this shipwreck are readily available as both Cobs and British Coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
