<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 25579811, member: 110226&quot;]Thanks!&nbsp; The &quot;klippe&quot; coins from Mexico are really odd, and minted for only two years: 1733, 1734.&nbsp; The dies used were intended for milled coins, but other dies were designed for them, premiering in 1732.&nbsp; That date is extremely rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting back to the klippe type 8 reales, the flans were always square shaped. Given the uniformity of the strike, they were clearly struck on a press and not hammer struck.&nbsp; Of the two dates 1734 is by far the rarer.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never owned a coin with that date.&nbsp; These coins are in high demand, and a good number have been holed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are considering purchasing one of these coins, be careful.&nbsp; They are heavily counterfeited. It is best to buy from a trusted source, even if there&#039;s a premium included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
