[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3468265, member: 81093"]I have dabbled in cobs, but am by no means an expert, especially in 8 escudos cobs. So please take this with a healthy pinch of salt. It could have been so poorly struck that the gold has been distorted to the extent that the PVA looks like EVA. Even then, the A looks more like an upside down V, which worries me more than a little. Also there are some oddities in both the obverse and reverse (including the dotted ring and so forth), which makes me wonder. What is the weight? A sure fire way to get an expert opinion is to email Daniel Sedwick. He will likely be able to tell you what it is, when it was struck, and how rare it is in 1 minute flat.[/QUOTE]
