    ebay sold listings show a few. Looks like $300 might be in the ballpark.
    Nice eye appeal, assuming it's genuine.

    I agree, have the coin slabbed and hope that it's genuine.

    This is a "Pillar dollar".

    Your 8-reales piece is technically of the later portrait type (though it does have pillars on it, of course). It looks OK to me- I think it is likely genuine. It might barely make EF- but I don't think AU.
