<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wadek2, post: 1710886, member: 51798&quot;]Hi Everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I recently bought this coin from an online estate auction. I did not really know what I was buying but I saw similar coins selling on ebay for more than what I was paying so I thought it was a good deal. When the coin arrived I was able to get a closer look at the certificate (they did not show it online). I now believe that this coin is very rare and I am trying to verify the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) This a&nbsp; Phillip II 8 Reale Potosi from Assayer : R - Which would make it one of the first printed.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) That this is not fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) A value.&nbsp; This was the only similar coin I could find at auction: <a href="http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Potosi-Bolivia-cob-8-reales-Philip-II-assayer-R-Rincon-extremely-rare-first-dollar-of-Potos_i14157221" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Potosi-Bolivia-cob-8-reales-Philip-II-assayer-R-Rincon-extremely-rare-first-dollar-of-Potos_i14157221" rel="nofollow">http://auction.sedwickcoins.com/Potosi-Bolivia-cob-8-reales-Philip-II-assayer-R-Rincon-extremely-rare-first-dollar-of-Potos_i14157221</a>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Does the fact that it is from the Atocha make it more valuable?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please see attached pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]263029.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]263030.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]263031.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
