Can't make out the denomination. Doesn't look like an 8 Reales. Looks like a '6'. Not sure that was made. Do you have a size and weight on the puppy??   07-09-2009, 06:06 PM   #2 (permalink) RUFUSREDDOG Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bluegrass Posts: 262 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Quote: Originally Posted by FarmerB Definitely a 1762 Pillar The Mo indicates the Mexico City mint.

Some edge ripples left(?). Approx 26 mm. Seems to be a smidge smaller that the 1808 Pillar dollar I think I've found. I was hoping to save that picture until I can sort out the worst of this bag of stuff. Isn't this a 1808 (funny looking date to me) below?

The break in the 0 is more pronounced than usual, but other than that it looks normal to me. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   07-10-2009, 02:22 PM   #4 (permalink) RUFUSREDDOG Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bluegrass Posts: 262 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 That's the weight of the 1762.
