It is definitely struck on a 4 real size planchet, meaning the reverse die was purposely made in 4 real diameter with an 8R marking???
No I don't mind, be my guest.
Part of my puzzle about this coin is, if you were going to make a counterfeit coin you wouldn't make it with so many obvious mistakes. Wrong bust...
Yes that is correct but the assayers mark says it was minted in the early 1800s?? Which makes the bust correct timewise and the date on the coin...
Can anyone tell me what I have? The coin is styled after an 8 real coin. The obverse has a bust of Charles IIII but the date on the coin is 1777....
