Not too familiar with these, but I'll guess VF, based on the circulation wear. Take my comment with a grain of salt. I'm sure other members can grade it better then me.

That is a beautiful 300 year old coin. Lightly circulated so maybe XF range? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I'll say AU-MS. Is it that color in hand?

That's a pretty nice grade for that coin. I was way off.  Errers and Varietys.

My favorite part of this design is the globe--I see MS graded examples with missing globe details, so I am glad that this one has a solid strike, at least where the globes are concerned. I definitely see the wear, though, and it does look like an AU coin to me.
I have another pillar 8 reales coin in an MS holder--it is missing so many details from a weak strike, but again, I chose one with good details on the globe.

Good deal, Adam! Your coin is exceptionally well-struck, and on a nice planchet. It's a coin any collector would be happy to have.

Thanks everyone! I am still looking for a nice MS Pillar 8 Reales coin with full globe details from the 1730s or 1740s. This is a great one to tide me over until I find my "diamond in the rough."
