Saw this coin today in Florence.... After some recent 1770s coin purchases I'm intrigued by these... I'm not familiar with 8 reales but I'm curious how this one looks for the year and mint;

A nice example, but outside my skill set for grading.

Hello Roma2021
I have concerns about this coin. Could you post the weight and sharp pictures of the edge (several shots showing different segments. I am uncomfortable with the texture of the coin fields just looking at the picture.

@jfransch, I long passed on this coin and unfortunately it's in another city so I won't be able to get any more photos of it.

I try not to buy outside of what I know unless I get something in a lot of coins. This was a hard pass for me after some consideration.

Hey John. Roma this coin is as we say "El Fake del Mundo." Good passing on this. The denticles are off.
