Morgan - That's an interesting idea you have there, but I think you're making it more complicated than it is. Instead of trying to find a bit...
You are not alone in your thinking smon ;)
Yes, it is.
Well if it makes ya feel any better Speedy - I would have been 1 point low too. I wouldn't have gone 66 because of the fingerprint.
It's not really a debate - I am just presenting an alternative method along with some other rather pertinent information that hopefully allows...
The date is listed on the coin in two locations as 1736. I believe it is supposed to be an 8 reales struck at the Lima mint with the assayer...
