Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 5:12 pm Hi, Asking the family for thoughts in the NG 1/2 Real dated 1782. I won this on ebay for a surprisingly low bid of ~$12. Considering it is an NG which seldom come up, and these usually go crazy at the end. However, this grades AG/G and is the smallest of denominations for the date, but still... The weirdest thing to me is the date, particularly the 2, but I also know how small these coins are and the numbering got less intricate in the smaller coins. Particularly at a smaller mint like Guatemala. Anyone have thoughts on authenticity? Bogus 1/2 Real (what's the point?!?!?) or my lucky day and I finally scored my first NG?

Grade is important; still, this did go cheap for a piece from these years of Guat. Afternoon auction... Some of those prices over the weekend were rather anomalous for not amazing pieces.

There was a 1782 1 Real that went from about $100 to over $400 in the last 15 seconds. It was rather exhilarating to watch. I was expecting SOMETHING like that to happen here too, and obviously, nada. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 10:48 pm Having the largest collection of Counterfeit 1/2R, 1R and 2R's (~145 different varieties) in the world (intentionally collected) check for a counterfeit by observing and performing three things: 1. Its weight compared to regal in KM (Krause/Mishler). 2. Most counterfeits have Plain Edges and medal die turn axis if in off-metal. 3. If debased silver with good regal edges check (1) above. All these lower denomination Portraits have non-uniform motifs and up and down lettering or improper symmetry. This appears in good silver alloy. * Edited by Staff - Link redacted, please use the proper forum for self promotion. * John Lorenzo United States Edited by colonialjohn 01/30/2018 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
