fireandice556 Valued Member Philippines 80 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 09:03 am I recently won this Mexico 2-Reales 1756 M (Pillar/Columnaria). It was listed as XF-AU at a local on-line auction. Weight is a bit low at 6.29gms. I deduced that while details are sharp, 'harsh' cleaning and pitting can be observed. So this might be a sea-salvage coin, which can possibly explain it's weight. This is actually my 2nd Mo 1756-M, weight=6.53 gms (left), so I was able to compare it with the new one (right). The new one also has a bit larger flan. Looking for your opinions.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 4:33 pm I have what seems to be a special attraction for Mexican coinage during the colonial & republic eras. My mainstream desire is for counterfeits, but it's well worth it to include authentic coins too for comparison on the data sheets with weights, measures & photos. Can't comment on your coin as I need plenty of help myself to understand what I've got. As little as I know about such coins, I would not suspect sea salvage. I'd expect a much more damaged look.
