Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/21/2013 11:41 pm Honestly, I don't really have any questions about this coin. I just wanted to show off my nice, new 1816 Mexican 8 reales. It is of proper weight (26.89g), has the overlaps 180 degrees across from one another, and seems pretty legitimate to me. Would you guys agree that it's a solid VF? Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 12:14 am Thanks, everyone. I actually paid $65 for it. Do you guys think that I did ok? Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 3:12 pm $65 is the price you should be paying for a full VF and $50 is closer to the value of this coin. However it is still a very nice piece and you should be proud to have it in your collection Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 4:36 pm Nice Ferdinand 8 and I am sure it will be a happy coin in your collection. Always nice to find these with the center section (Bust and Shield side) so well struck up. They are so often found with a very soft strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/23/2013 8:37 pm Thanks for the input, everyone! zxcccxz- Really, you don't think that this would at least make a VF-20 (US standards)? Report this Post to the Staff
