I have recently decided to put together a collection of Mexico Peso's/8 reales. I know that many of the Spanish 8 reales are not cheap so i'm starting since independence. I figure I can get AU or higher pieces for most. I picked these two up over a week ago. I was able to negotiate for these tonight.
Willieboyd2 might know better. I know there are some minor differences between the 1898 original and the restrike. actually I was searching and found this. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/san-francisco-mint-1949-restrike-of-mexico-1898-peso.12561/
