Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 9:04 pm Well, to reiterate what I said in the separate prior thread on this coin, it's evidently a Spanish 8 reales struck in Mexico City (it's a bit hard to see the mintmark clearly, though) that looks to be chopmarked indicating its employment in the China trade, where these were widely used. You had stated it weighed 26.8g, and from that and its overall appearance, I'd judge it's likely authentic. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 05/24/2014 9:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 9:32 pm I don't think we need closer pics. From what I see, the weight, the details and the chopmarks point to genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 06:29 am It's worth anywhere from $20 to $80, depending on how eager someone is to have it. I bought one out of a foreign bullion can in similar condition a month ago gor $20, but that was luck more than anything. $40-50 is more like normal market for collectors.
