Yea, the Staters are definitely out of my price range, which is why I went for this
I've been wanting to buy one of these coins for some time now. Finally had the money to get one. Lesbos (Mytilene) El Hekte 377-326 BC Obv: head...
Thanks for your responses everyone. I'm glad that it looks ok, despite some potential question marks. I mainly posted it because I didn't know...
Hi all I bought this coin on MA-Shops from a dealer in Germany. The dealer seems to be well experienced and reputable. However, as with all 8...
Thanks for your reply. And yes, I did get a good price.... considering it's an 8 reales coin from the 18th century
Hi all, just as an FYI, after discussion on this coin I went back to the original seller to ask some clarifying questions about the coin. They...
Wow - I love your collection Deacon Ray. You've given me a lot of ideas around how I can expand my ancient collection beyond what it currently is...
Thanks all for the posts guys. Appreciate the comparisons. And thanks Jwt708 for the link. I had found that website previously, although I didn't...
Thanks for your response and post. My coin has been heavily cleaned (I'd say a horde find) and probably recently, which makes it hard to tell. It...

I realised that I never gave the SG of the coin after I got my scales. My pocket scales only go to 2 decimal places, and I am not sure how...
P.S - I was very nervous about posting my coin here, as almost every other post I found on "is this 8 reales coin genuine?" came back as "no". So...
Great, thanks again jgenn. I'm purchasing some digital 'pocket scales' (up to 300g or 500g to .01) to make it easier to weigh coins and do...
Thanks again jgenn. So on balance, is this more likely to be a genuine coin, or more likely to be a counterfeit? I've looked into getting it...
