A little help w/ 8 Reales

My grandfather has always wanted one. I found one that i may be purchasing. Wanted to get the World Coiners' blessing before pulling the trigger. I don't deal in world coins at all, and the forgery list for Pillar/8 Reales/ Milled dollars is huge.

39 mm, 26.90 g

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks OK to me, but I don't collect Mexican silver, and my opinion's only based on the well-illustrated reference book by George Vogt.

 

Do the rims always look like that?

 

The reeding seems off, but it may just be the way the image was edited. Other than that, nothing screams fake.

 

Thanks for the input so far. I'm going to get a picture of the edge and post it before I make the purchase.

Coin looks OK to me also.

I think you are in luck today...seems real to me.

 

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Made the purchase
