[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4887827, member: 110226"]The reverse seems to have a die break around 8-10 o'clock. This is not terribly unusual since dies generally were used until they nearly fell apart. Your coin was produced in Mexico City in the midst of the War of Independence, which ended in 1821. Given those turbulent times, necessity probably dictated the extended use of dies. I'd say that coin grades about VF. It is nicely toned, with an even strike and generally good detail - just a fair amount of honest wear.[/QUOTE]
