<p>[QUOTE=&quot;serafino, post: 2160684, member: 74574&quot;]Great looking coins. I just started buying some of these silver reales coins after finding out that King Carlos lll of Spain was King Carlo lll of Naples and Sicily prior to taking over the Spanish throne in 1759. </p><p>When Carlo lll left Italy, his son Ferdinando became King of the region of Italy south of Rome, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a nice looking 1776 Mexico 8 reales coin on Ebay that turned out to be a fake, in the pics it looked like a strong VF but when I got it I put it on the scale and it was 2 grams light.&nbsp; Sent that sucker back to the seller who had thousands of feedbacks at 100% positive. I wish more of these sellers would include the weight of their coins in their auctions.&nbsp; </p><p>After that letdown, this week I just bought a slabbed 1883 Cazador 8 reales coin on ebay, can&#039;t wait to get it.&nbsp; That shipwreck story adds so much more to the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
