    I was wondering if any of Y'all could help me with the date on this Mexican 8 Reales? I bought it as a 1819 but I see 18 thirtysomething, I think... Thanks!

    The first of those were struck at the Mexico City mint in 1824 - so it can't be 1819. But I'd be more interested in that countermark on the Liberty Cap if it were me. That's one I can't find.

    It appears to have done some hard service in China judging by the condition and the chopmark.
