moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 09:15 am I don't know this series well enough to give a definitive answer but this doesn't look like a struck coin. Ill check back and hopefully I'm full of beans. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 2:15 pm Your coin ( I think it is an 1885 HO ) is looking pretty good to me. It appears everything is right size and shape when I compare it to mine which is a different date but same type. Fakes tend to slip up someplace and change details. Make lettering larger or smaller. As best I can tell, your image would overlay on mine and look right. my 1891 MO MEXICAN 8 REALES Edited by TNG 08/12/2017 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/12/2017 3:18 pm Heck, I just looked at the mint marks of these things, I think that I was wrong stating mine is an S and yours was too. ( So I edited my previous post ) There is an extensive list of mintmarks so I don't know my stuff there. It's possible mine is from Mexico City and yours might be from Hermosillo KM#377.9 Take a gander at this link. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7394.html Your weight looks right for the coin. You may have a scarce mint coin there with a much lower mintage than usual. Best of luck. Edited by TNG 08/12/2017 3:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
