Help With Identifying Coins Authenticity And Value Please (Id: 2 Reales, 1811, Zacatecas Mint Mark)

Here is a 2R which is almost an exact match. The denomination is at the top. The 1181 date is also the same.

If genuine this is a $500+ coin IMO. I'm still skeptical though.

If you look closer on top of the crown we see 2R so the 2R denomination is placed correctly. Although its been awhile since I bought a few 2R LVO's due to the recent INSANITY in this field of Latin American Coinage. See here: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...duid-1417832

The weights are variable on these pieces but generally in the same ballpark and the pieces crude particularly for this earlier style. The piece pictured has the correct legends, the date is retrograde (reversed), the 2R is placed correctly (value above crown) and for all you bibliophiles out there see Superior Stamp & Coin Co. Buddy De Silva Collection, 2/1978 L1643 - one of the finest known as a comparison example along with this link above. Does it contain trace Au? Hope so ... <VVBG>. JPL

SORRY FORGOT TO ADD it WEIGHS A LITTLE OVER 7grams

I found two coins identical to yours listed on MercadoLibre about a month ago. They are no longer there, but the images can still be seen if you google "zacatecas 1811 lvo mercadolibre". I was unable to copy and paste them.

The weight is way too low for an 8R. I have a worn authentic 1812 Zacatecas portrait head provisional which weighs 26.4 grams. Your coin is about the right weight for a 2R, and I can't see 8R on your coin either. What is the diameter? An 8R should be very close to 38mm.

Here is a similar authentic 1811 2R.

The denomination is at the top of the coin, on both sides of the crown. Looking at your image, I think I can make out 2R.

FWIW, mercadolibre has what appears to be an authentic 1811 LVO 2R. At today's Mexican peso conversion it's $633. USD.

A 2R is about as thick as a penny, and the diameter is a little larger than a quarter. 27mm. An 8R is a little larger than a US silver dollar, but not as thick.

The problem I have colonialjohn is the two coins identical to this one on MercadoLibre. And I mean identical: same centering, same letters visible, same wear, same stars.These coins are notable for their variability, not their sameness.

The ones on MercadoLibre were priced to sell too, for around $100 if I recall correctly. Authentic 2R's in this condition are $500-1000.

EDIT - and a bigger oops:

PS - Can the title of this be altered what this actually is - "ID: 2 Reales...", not "8 Reales"?

I'll admit its a good fake since a regal is crude looking to begin with - DANGEROUS.
