I know nothing about this type of coin but a friend has asked me to sell it.
I attached some pics. The necklace and setting are solid gold. I am curious as to it's value and how to go about selling it.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Here you go Mel Fisher's Store

    Their prices are really outrageous !!

    Ok, now I have an idea of the value from that site, thank you. Now for selling it. Would ebay work for a high end item like this? or mabe here at the BST board?

    I checked out one of their stores near the Gold Coast, man talk about high prices! But the kewl thing was getting to hold the gold bar in a case that weighs about 4lbs or so.

    You can ignore Fisher's store as a price guide. They are full tourist retail and then some. Your piece is a two reale, which is quite a bit scarcer than the 8 reales pieces but it's not in all that good condition with an irregular flan and salt water erosion. Being a grade 2, it isn't all that bad either. Grade 1 pieces bring the most money by far though.

    Might be worth $500 or so. You might even get more by selling the bezel as scrap and selling the coin separately.

    Ebay is way to go. Check previous auctions for a realistic price.
