peteramadeus Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 5:52 pm I'm having trouble distinguishing the date, mintmark, & initials on this Mexican 1 real piece due to its worn state. Looking at it and running through Real coins in my guide to world coins isn't getting me far fast, so looking for additional opinions on what they are from fresh sets of eyes. My best guess so far: The G mintmark is clear, I see no signs of a small o or a following though it could have been worn off My best guess at the date is 1832 The first initial is clearly an M...the second one looks like an I to me, or possibly a J with a really small bottom part Anyone with a fresh perspective see/find anything I am not? 1200 DPI scan of the coin here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/pho...t=directlink Report this Post to the Staff

RealPeso Valued Member United States 426 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 7:37 pm Hello Peteramadeus! Pretty sure it's a 1829 1 Real from Guanajuato. Assayer's initials M.J. There was no small o within the G for the 1 reals of this year. Nice little real! Report this Post to the Staff

peteramadeus Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 5:02 pm Thanks, RealPeso, my catalog of world coins doesn't list that this year doesn't have the small o, so I probably could have stared at it indefinitely, and I can see it being 1829 easily. Now I know exactly what this BV coin (most likely) is! Thanks for the input! Report this Post to the Staff
