<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2303923, member: 69760&quot;]By the way, here&#039;s the 1776 8 Reales Mexico City coin graded XF40 that I can&#039;t get out of my mind. It&#039;s got &quot;acceptable damage&quot; (British countermark), which IMHO gives the coin more character and history. The location of the countermark is also well placed at the more-or-less &quot;plain&quot; center of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;ll be a challenge, and I can&#039;t get over the asking price as it seems really high... but if it comes down in price to acceptable levels, I think I&#039;ll sell my current one to subsidize the one below. I&#039;d probably take this over a problem-free XF-45 or AU-50 grade, and be done with upgrading this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Figuring out what this should be worth would be nice to know, as the countermark makes it tricky to find comparable data:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]463119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
