[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3744082, member: 112"]While it's true that salt water damaged coins have a look that is similar, it is a look that is different than that of this coin. And most who are familiar with salt water damaged coins would recognize that difference quite readily. They are all over the place if you compare it to genuine coins. You can pick out almost any detail, compare it, and readily see it is different. Now some might counter that you can say different dies different details, and that's true. But, if you look up a bunch of 1760 Mexico 8 reales, as you can find here - [URL]https://www.google.ca/search?lr=&as_qdr=all&q=mexico+%221760+Pillar+dollar%22&tbm=isch&source=univ&safe=images&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjg_eWcm4DlAhXBzVkKHQhfA7IQsAR6BAgIEAE[/URL] - and compare all of them to each other and then all to this coin - you'll see that the genuine coins all look pretty much alike, but this coin stands out as different from all of them. And while you're on that search page I listed above, you'll also find this - [URL]https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcoinreplicas.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FSCA_01_obv-1.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcoinreplicas.com%2Fproduct%2F1760-spanish-milled-pillar-dollar-replica%2F&docid=26KNBADRaZ4-6M&tbnid=ZQqyEBssLkjjfM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwj1jq2im4DlAhUKy1kKHYrHDKUQMwhFKAIwAg..i&w=600&h=600&safe=images&bih=688&biw=1455&q=mexico%20%221760%20Pillar%20dollar%22&ved=0ahUKEwj1jq2im4DlAhUKy1kKHYrHDKUQMwhFKAIwAg&iact=mrc&uact=8[/URL] Another example of a 1760 fake, cast from the same mold that the OP's coin was made from.
