[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1859567, member: 112"]No way to tell if it's real or fake without an in hand examination by somebody who knows the coins. But in the end it doesn't matter, as a keepsake it is priceless ;) But your coin has been correctly identified Maria, it was minted in Mexico City at the Spanish colonial mint there. And here are some better pics of what it should look like when not covered by the discoloration and light corrosion. Same date, same mint - [ATTACH=full]312332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312333[/ATTACH] Now if you want you can take your coin to a jewelry store and ask them to weigh it for you. If the weight comes in within a tenth of a gram or so of 27 grams then there is good chance it is genuine. You already know my thoughts on value, but as for possible monetary value the estimate already given is pretty close in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
