newguy22 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 8:23 pm Another example of an 8 reales piece with similar smaller chopmarks on the reverse underneath the shield. All seem to come from the same seller in Quebec. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175373482367tmp=no Report this Post to the Staff

That mark has similar size and positioning, but is not the exact same character(s). Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 12:25 pm That circular mark does have a weird mushy look to it. Possible the whole piece is cast, or that's a product of the coin receiving an odd polishing or processing of some sort (look at the surfaces in general). None of these observed reverses seem to be obvious die matches thus far. Report this Post to the Staff
