Mexico 1746 1/2r

Nice coin! I like the 1/2 Rs. Hard to tell from the photo but I would guess AU 55. Might be environmental damage at 10 oclock on the pillar side, might have been cleaned.

I want to know the price of it in your countries.Thank you very much!

Another counterfeit

Here is a BIG problem if that coin is judged to be real.



As you can easily see the Lion I have pictured here is a very strange looking thing indeed. This punch should be identical to the other lion. The same matrix block punches were used. So to believe this coin is real postulates engraving not punching of the die.

So based on what I know of Mexico City die sinking I find it difficult to believe it is real.

To me this looks like a digitally mastered die from a possibly grainy photo. I may be wrong but I would not buy it as an original.
