<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsnake, post: 986740, member: 25460&quot;]So about a month ago I posted an ad on Craigslist that I wanted to buy old silver dollars. Last evening I get a phone call from a guy who says he has an old silver dollar coin but he doesn&#039;t really know anything about them. I asked a few questions and got some vague answers. He said it was Spanish and said 8 reales on it. Finally I suggested he send me photos of the coin. Below is what he sent me. The quality is bad but that&#039;s all I&#039;ve got. I don&#039;t know anything about Spanish 8 Reales so I&#039;m asking for opinions on authenticity, how to spot a fake, if there are many fakes, if anyones ever seen them in a case like the one pictured, or an idea on value. He said that it is a 1776. I don&#039;t have any of these but I figure if it&#039;s real and the price is right it&#039;s kinda cool. Your help is appreciated. Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab129/Juggawhat82/2681e99b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab129/Juggawhat82/0a0fcc4d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab129/Juggawhat82/bfe31011.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab129/Juggawhat82/f7e2ee08.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
