<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 613287, member: 8959&quot;]Brad, I bought this coin at an Aureo, Barcelona, Auction in 1989 or 1990.&nbsp; It was not described as the rare 2-dot type at all, just as an 1772 from Lima. It was only later that I discovered that there were 2 varieties, and </p><p>I was pleased (assuming it is indeed authenthic....).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a link to the Superior auction, but I do still have the catalogue. Here are pics I just took of the lot in question, and of the catalogue (It sold for $2200 at that sale. The coin seems to be slightly out of round).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not 100 % sure my coin is authentic, even if it came from Aureo. </p><p>I have seen fake 8 reales from Santiago, and they have another feel altogether. This one &quot;feels&quot; good to me, but I am not an expert by a long shot.... </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see if we can pin this one down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
