<p>[QUOTE="Simms, post: 1056580, member: 24789"]After researching for an hour or so I have a few things figured out. Firstly, mine is a legit coin. Second, 8R stands for 8 Reales, Pi stands for the mint location San Luis Potosi, P.S. stands for the initials of the "Mintmaster" at the time of mintage and it seems that each mint master had a slightly different die used for their initials all over Mexico. As for the 10ds and 20gs that is found on all Reales of this type through all years, I believe to be a form of showing how much silver was in the coin? Here is link to the closest coin I could find like mine. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Mexico_1841-Pi_JS_8_reales" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Mexico_1841-Pi_JS_8_reales" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Mexico_1841-Pi_JS_8_reales</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
