<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1917654, member: 26302"]OP, no offense, but you are going to get scammed. I hate saying that, I hate the world is that way today, but it is. If you continue to buy things at antique malls, trusting what the coin purports to be, and not being very knowledgable on your own, 100% guarantee you will get fleeced. Do you know Mexican coins have been copied for over 100 years? What confidence do you have that the 8 reales is real? I have seen THOUSANDS of fake mexican coins at such places over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am saying this since it seems like you are a good kid, and like silver. I like silver too, have for 40 years. Please, slow your roll, and try to only buy from sources that everyone here would agree are reputable places to buy real silver. Wait until you are much more knowledgable to try to cherrypick places like antique stores. Those places are RIPE with fakes. Have I bought a FEW real pieces there? Yeah, but I have 40 years experience sir, and I only buy coins I am 100% sure my knowledge is high enough to know its real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
