My 1761 2 Real -

 

Carolus IV.

 

I have no clue if that coin is real or fake .Getting it over 4 decades ago soon as I pulled it out what a smile I had yesterday.

 

Hard to say from the photos. Can you take some better ones and give us the weight?

 

I'm working on that out of collecting coins long time

 

scale says 1.50g

 

Well the weight should be 1.69 g for a 1793 Mexico City 1/2 real. Was it recovered from a shipwreck?

 

have no clue got that coin over 40 years ago in north Carolina

 

It is a 1793 Charles IV Mexico 1/2 Real, because of the wear I would say the weight you have is good. it is a genuine coin

 

You think that circulation wear would account for more than 10% of the weight difference? I refer you to this recent thread where weight loss from circulation wear is discussed.
