jfransch- WOW! Very nice 8's! That '67 is probably an AU. I must admit that I have yet to hold a columnario in such a grade. The 1768 is very nice too, but there is some sort of issue in the 11:00-12:00 o'clock area of the obverse rim. The dentals seem to be poorly struck and is there a bit of corrosion on the top of the "U" of "VTRAQUE?" Does the edge in this area of the coin also show similar signs?

Thank you for the comments. High grade pillars are beautiful. The spot at Utraque is a small planchet flaw or pit that has picked up some grime and dirt. The flat spot at 11-12 o'clock defies logic, there does not appear to be any wear, it's almost like the denticles were never struck there to start with.

This is genuine! You cannot replicate that toning and wear in that way. The coin has nice peripheral toning. The little marks, nicks dents and abbration marks show its genuine. Also on fake 8 reales sometimes the detail is not there. Some of the letters partially appearing... dont worry this one is 110% genuine. Very nice piece.

Hi DIC,
It was a nice surprise for me that the above 1746 Pillar Dollar coin I sold to you last year was posted here long before I became a member of our community
It was a nice 1746 Columnario in my collection as anyone can see on the above picture. And until now, I am still abiding on my principle of Happy Ebaying - should the above coin does not fit to your taste, I will be happy to send you refund at once to include shiiping fee.
Yes I am a more than a collector myself than a seller (because I only sell my duplicates, or when making upgrades), as you may check with some of my coins posted here in our community, just part of my little sharing.
I personally guarantee that the above Pillar Dollar coin is 100% genuine. Besides from the fact that I was able to acquire the same, several years before from a well known collector here in the Philippines.
One thing though I should say for now - I missed your 1746 Dos Mundos coin
Best Regards,
Vic
