nwplaza Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 5:00 pm I know I know, such little detail not going to be easy to ID this one but collectors bring coins in our shop in Vancouver WA that have us baffled so we take photos of them and post to this forum. So far forum members are 2 for 2 in positively ID'ing coins we've posted. Let's see if we can make it 3 out of 3 with this latest post! Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 5:14 pm Tough one. Posting size and weight will help. My guess based on the reverse is some Islamic type, heavily counterstamped (note the R and star patterns are incuse; may or may not have been part of the original design). I'll see what others have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 7:37 pm That looks like a "Morelos" counter stamp. Look into War of independence era Mexican coins, 1810 or so. Probably a 8 Reales Oaxaca. Edited by Rdwarrior 10/14/2015 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 01:55 am I can make out an 8 and an R on the obverse, or whatever side has the counterstamp. How about this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1813-Mexico...121624660200 P.S. Nice to find another member from Washington. I live up in the Carnation-Duvall area. Report this Post to the Staff
