otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 2:22 pm I have yet to receive this coin. It is supposedly 8 reales- dated 17--. You can see the right-facing portrait of Charles and part of the coat of arms on the reverse, as well as what looks like a Tesoro mint mark to me. There is also part of the coat of arms stamped on the obverse. I don't know what to make of it. Do you think it was done post-mint? Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 9:49 pm Curious piece... I think this might be a "press job"... AKA someone took another piece impacted it into this worn-down coin, imprinting a negative image on it. Report this Post to the Staff
