scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 05/03/2016 5:15 pm Weight (6.77g) and composition (.917) seem about right to be KM#85. Should be around $75-100 in this condition. Looks ok to me, but I'm not an expert. Report this Post to the Staff

coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 05/04/2016 2:56 pm I think also, that the coin is good after examination of the pictures. The value shoulde be set a little lower though (around 35-50 bucks). Report this Post to the Staff

jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 05/10/2016 10:08 pm I collect 8 reales so I know there are many good looking forgeries out there. I'm not so familiar with the 2 reales but I would hesitate to pass judgement without at least a description of the edge design. After all, the mints used an edging mill to impress a leaf pattern in order to make it difficult to counterfeit so why wouldn't you look there to help determine the coin's authenticity? Also, I'm curious how you tested the silver content. Report this Post to the Staff
