tokenmast Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 06/13/2012 11:04 pm WOW that is an unexpected edge !! CoinHawkeye could you please tell us how much the coin weights? Since it was cast, instead of punched from sheet maybe the edger was out ? so they used a 1 Reales edge? and flipped it over? Just a guess. (had heard of that) Very cool coin!! student ;) Edited by tokenmast 06/13/2012 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHawkeye Valued Member United States 367 Posts	Posted 06/14/2012 10:47 am I looked at the coin closer, and I think that it may be a 13 over 12. Report this Post to the Staff
