<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1421863, member: 8959&quot;]I have consulted Frank Gilboy&#039;s book on Columnario coinage: he does not cite a plain-edge 2-Reales pieces for the year 1765 for the Mexico mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only thing you may have to go by is the weight: For the Mexico mint, an incirculated 2-R was supposed to weigh 6.64 grams.&nbsp; An average weight for examples in VF from Mexico is 6.4805 grams. Since your example weighs a little less, and is about F/VF one conclusion maybe that the edge was shaved-off for some purpose (maybe to fit in a bezel for use as jewelry?). </p><p>Hope this helps a little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
