Well, it was struck in .8960 silver, weight 3.3834gm, ASW .0975 oz., assayer mark is FM. Value is about $15 - $20.
Post a pic of the whole coin, both sides.
No it is not an error, it is just an ordinary Proof.
It is indeed a reale, but it is not from Spain. It is from Mexico City.
Accurate in regard to what ? If you mean values, I have yet to see one that it is.
Values in Krause can be all over the map, too low, too high or just right. There is no rule of thumb. But it is what we have in catalog form....

It is, but it is somewhat expensive at $149 a year. The advanatge of the on-line version is that it is somewhat easier to find what you are...

At first glance I would have agreed with you Frank. But look at the pic again. The yellow arrow points to what would be called a cud, I agree. But...
No, it's mechanical doubling.
Well griff, after you do this for 40 or 50 years and you see tens of thousands and then hundreds of thousands of fakes - perhaps you'll understand...
Works for me, let us know how it turns out.
No, no, don't do that. We may not see you again afterwards :D And I for one would miss ya ;)
There's lots and lots of them out there pal, and they are almost all fairly cheap.
