Bolivia 1754 P C Potosi 8 Reales: what's going on?

All these 8's look normal? Left centre of coin I see 3 8's.

It's hard to tell because there's a lot going on with the coin. Nevertheless, a great old piece. Congratulations!

Thankyou.....I bought two.

 

Good, two is always better than one. BTW do you know anything about the Cerro Rico Hoard? I love hoard and shipwreck coins.

I looked up the hoard which was discovered in the Cerro Rico mountains.......1400 coins.....conserved and graded....so all seem to be high grades........XF being the poorest.

 

My second example from the Hoard.

 

The only thing I can see on your first coin, from looking at the bottom right, it appears to be from the Denver mint. Seriously, a fantastic coin!
