nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 03/05/2014 10:52 pm I guess I'll join the party, this is my only coin I own that's denominated in reales. It's 2 reales from 1847 - it was priced at $8.50 and listed as AG, but I bought it with many other cheap coins and the dealer halved the price because I looked young and impressionable! Well, I appreciated it for about $4. My logic was that since this coin looked really crude, it probably suffered not from wear but a crappy strike and would be graded higher than AG. I think I was right! I thought it was a contemporary counterfeit, but it looks like all Honduras coins of this era look awful. The high points look like copper showing through from underneath a thin silver wash, but I think the coin's really low fineness is to blame. With the amount of silver in it it is not really worth counterfeiting... Report this Post to the Staff

Back a few years I purchased 400 Quartillas, a hoard that came out of Guatemala but the coins were low grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Jay Kristofferson Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 5:48 pm The 1845 Quartilla date is not struck over something. Just a spot of toning. Report this Post to the Staff
