<p>[QUOTE="lightrain, post: 1623603, member: 33057"]Arrived today! I immediately got my magnet and set it on the package before I opened it...it didn't stick. Opened it, There's an old chipboard box inside, put the magnet on that, still no sticking. Open that, there she sits still not magnetic! Calipers say 27.25mm, close to the 28 listed. The scale says 6.34g, close to the 6.76 of an unworn coin. Looking at the surface it is not pitted, but has the look of old silver, sort of rainbow toned under the right angle of light- definitely a legit surface! </p><p><br /></p><p>Being the first 2 reales I ever seen in hand, I don't know what the edge should look like, but it's got c shaped ridges- I'll find out if that's normal pdq. Then I suppose It's off to NGC after I get enough money saved up to join! Any guesses as to value of coin to insure on shipping?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
