bogdanjovi Valued Member Romania 86 Posts	Posted 05/21/2013 11:45 am I would also like to ask for second opinion regarding another piece of 8 reales, weight 26.94 g, 39-40 mm. The only question mark for me is the sound, that is more "sober" than other silver coins. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

bogdanjovi Valued Member Romania 86 Posts	Posted 05/22/2013 07:17 am Yes, there is a stop also on the opposite side, 180 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff

But according to what I see and what you tell me, everything looks OK to me. The marks on the pillar side are adjustment marks : some silver was removed when the coin was made as it was too heavy.

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 05/27/2013 12:46 am The coin is no problem to me. See a similar one of mine. 27.02 grams, 39.8mm. Also have two stops in opposite sides. When my coin is hit with hard object, it does not produce a relatively long-lasting pitch of sound as other 90%Ag coins. There are also adjustment marks on both sides of my coin.
