Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 452504, member: 12965"]The original date on the OP coin is under the RT & BR of PORT*BRAS and it appears to be 1801 but the 1's don't appear to have the top serifs? They look like blunt 1's? Can someone post a pic of an authentic 1801 8 Real, Mexico Mint, for comparison? :thumb: Sweet coin! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ps: So others can maybe see what I see, here is where I believe the numbers are for the date: Looking at the coin as it sits (relative to coin, not the letters) and assuming the date is 1801: First 1 is underneath the R in BRAS and on the right sideThe 8 is under the B in BRAS.The 0 is to the left of the T in PORT and most of it is lower than the stop between PORT & BRAS.The last 1 is between the R & T of PORT and closer to the T. Pps: The zero looks smaller than the other numbers. Is that right?[/QUOTE]
