paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 7:06 pm Saw this coin listed while browsing auctions and was curious as to what might have happened to it. It looks like chop marks but there are a ton of them on both sides. Would appreciate any feedback, I know there are a few 8 Reales veterans who hang out around here.

Stevo-Aus New Member Australia 10 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 12:52 am I know there was alot of these heavily chop marked coins circulating around asia and the pacific in the early 1800's. Occaisionally they pop up here in Australia as the coin was actively circulated here back in colonial days when Australia had currency shortages. Report this Post to the Staff
