vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 11/05/2008 04:11 am Is this a 2 Reale? About the size of a U.S. nickel. Also, I have been told it is dated 1670. I don't know the mint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 11/05/2008 04:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 11/05/2008 5:24 pm It's a 2 real from Potosi dated 1670. I assume it is silver color and weighs around 6.75 grams? No claim to authenticity without weight and actual color but looks good otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 12/07/2008 3:08 pm Nice shape and not much edge splitting. The denomination looks like a 1 to me. If it is I'd expect weight around 3 grams - looks like a fair amount of seawater corrosion. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
