hydropsyche New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/04/2021 12:27 pm Hello folks, I was examining a 1785 1 Real for purchase and the assayer initials were MI. In 1785, I'm only aware of FF assayer marks from Mexico City coins. Was I looking at a counterfeit or did I not do enough research? thanks Edited by hydropsyche 01/04/2021 12:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/04/2021 4:48 pm But the OP states Mexico City so it'd be nice to see a good quality photo of the coin so we could have a look. Report this Post to the Staff
hydropsyche New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/04/2021 5:04 pm realeswatcher was right. Rookie move...I was looking at a photo of one coin from Mexico and had that on the brain, then moved over to this one and got my mints crossed. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways...
