Chris Is this genuine??????? Received from Lady Admin on this forum. Regards Bob

now goes by the name of "Adminlady" She's a pain Bob

Thanks azda and others. Think I’ll just ignore and delete it. Regards Bob

Haven’t a clue, Some septic pop group I suppose Funny recording though. Bob

One for you Ebay users. http://www.imagestorepro.com/ebay_song.html Cheers Bob

Rob Thanks for that detailed answer. Much appreciated. The coin is an 8 Reale and is a shipwreck coin. No grading has been given as it is bought as seen [lots of piccies] It’s been on the seabed for 219 years so the condition isn’t that good. The value in this coin is in its historical value and not its condition, also the certificate is proving it is from a shipwreck, not that it is genuine silver 8 Reale. I think the bloke that is asking the question has not read the advert properly. Cheers again for the info. Bob.

Hi I have a coin on ebay and been asked why my coin is not certified by PCGS. Can anyone tell me who or what is PCGS ?????? Cheers Bob

Hi Chris Is there a coin presentation box on the market that will display two coins? That is two 8 Reale coins; they are 38 mm in diameter. Needs to be transparent so that it can be viewed without taking out of the box. [if poss] Or transparent on one side. If so could you supply? I have some 8 Reales that only have one good side, so I thought I would offer a good Obverse and a good Reverse of the same coin and was hoping to sell them as a pair. Come to that does anyone know of any display/presentation box that might do the trick? Cheers Bob PS have you got all your feed back on ebay now [only just spotted your request]

Hi Geoff Any ideas on these two one silver and one gold I have been told that they are Rupees Any info would be welcome. Tim welcome to the boards. I’m Bob and haven’t got a clue about coin collecting in fact I can’t even pronounce numismatist I’m a treasure hunter [as in sea] these lads on here give me good advice on our recovered artifacts. Cheers Bob

Chris Here’s one similar to yours [nothing to do with coins though] Yorkshire Divers You may get a few ideas from it. Guests can only browse and not post on this one. Cheers Bob

Oli your sig looks a bit dark on my puter. Had a play around with it. is this better? Bob

Cheers for that Chris. You learn something new every day Noticed you were top out of about half a mil sites. cool. mine was just under 2000. Bob

Just done a Google search for Seadart, and who do you think is top of the list? Never tried that before. I wonder how I got there.? How would that have happened Chris? Thought you had to pay mega bucks to get in that position. I’ve never paid any one to be on a search engine. Cheers Bob

Always got a broken piece of an 8 Reale about two thirds the normal size This coin led us to a nice little haul around 300 for the team. It was jammed in the rocks, and at the base of the rock we found the haul. It makes a nice talking point as when diving and treasure hunting comes up. Most people haven’t got a clue what a piece of eight looks like, but they have all heard about Treasure Island/Long John Silver and his scrawny parrot squawking “pieces of eight†“pieces of eight†Cheers Bob

Chris. I send my 10/- via PayPal Thanks for running a good site and hope you get plenty of subscriptions to help with the ongoing costs. As you all know I am not into this coin collecting malarkey, but you and other members have supplied me with some good advice and information in the course of our salvage work.. [coins] Have got and hope to be getting lots more coins from our wreck so will be back on a regular bases for advice. Cheers Bob [seadart Divers Assoc] PS. just got your e-mail Chris, you’re welcome.

My dad says I can spend my pocket money as I want So you're OK for 10/- Chris. Cheers Bob

Tories to form the next government. Hmmmmm Are their enough of them out of prison now to be able to form a government??? Some people have short memories.

Thanks for that Sylvester. Will save them for future reference. Cheers Bob

HI Sylvester. Can I ask you another favour? Wondered if you would look at this 8 Reale coin for me and grade it. 8-Reale Seville Mint Just got my new book from Amazon and trying to put a price to some of my coins. I have been told that the Krause books over price the coins a bit. Any truth in it? Cheers for any info coming this way Bob

Here's a film of a bunch of Royal Marines doing what they do best - amphibious assualt.....well, almost. Found it on another forum You have to download the clip from the link below, its the second one down on the left ....entitled 'Commando' click on the word “more†Royals do it large You can even hear them laughing as only these guys would do when up to there ears in it. Best to download to your desktop. Enjoy. Cheers Bob

No Ex RN Worked with the Marines alot though. Cheers Bob

Hi All Thanks for all the advice. Lots of good info there. Penny/Sylvester. yes it was the flash that has put the shine on the coin. [top right] Mind you it has turned out quite shinny after the electrolyses cleaning. Here’s a pic of it when it came out of the water. In a coin collectors eyes it’s a big no no to clean the coins’ but in our case we have no choice. Not necessarily to find out what type of coin but to see if it is a coin at all. A few times, I have spent hours cleaning something only to find out that all I’ve got is a manky button. I get the point about different prices advertised. Just checked an old Krause World Coins book published in 1993 that someone lent me and that 8 Reale [seville mint]is priced at $18:50 US. Fine condition. The price for the same coin in the new Spain. Portugal and the New World Krause coin book is $525:00 fine condition, “am I missing something here†looks like I’ve got a lot to learn. AVF/GVF/NVF I know the basic ones but you got me on those [Not in the book] Thanks again. Bob

Hey "Oli" that signature of yours is great. Like it . Definitely one to be remembered. Bob You lost a lot of blood......but we found most of it

Got it in one Chris. I tried the same thing on Ebay [add your description page] and found it worked. You can make up your own advert. Bob

But the edit button won't work. Bob
