The manufacturing nature of Spanish Colonial cob coins did not produce the same shape and weights as milled coinage did. It is authentic and has been verified by Numismatic experts located on 57th St in NYC. Opening offer is lower than the offer made to me by this coin shop. Photos are of the actual coin offered. It will be shipped to the winner.
If you are a new member, please become familiar with policies. The link ahead details the Unpaid Item Policy which is worth a read by all who intend to offer on items. It is unfair to win an sale and then refuse to answer messages requesting payment, forcing the seller to open an Unpaid Item Case to either receive payment, or to be able to relist the item again. It wastes time and causes financial harm to sellers. Please offer only if you are able to settle within 2 days. My policy is to contact buyers after 2 days pass without payment. If I don\'t receive a reply or payment by the close of the 5th day after an sale ends, then I open the Unpaid Item Case and let try to settle. After 4 more days without payment from when the case opens, I close the Unpaid Item Case and am permitted by to relist the item. Simply, please pay within two days of winning and we can exchange Positive response and hopefully trade
