<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wildcat2002, post: 48883, member: 2245&quot;]Here is a link to my yahoo photos with some of the coins:&nbsp; <a href="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prenumbra2007/album?.dir=baf8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prenumbra2007/album?.dir=baf8" rel="nofollow">http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prenumbra2007/album?.dir=baf8</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are quite a few which were made after the column coins as well, if you (or someone else) would be knid enough to offer how you would grade some of these coins it would help so I can get a general idea of how to do this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I had a few other questions about specific coins in this group:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The 1737 8 reales piece has some bright&nbsp; green/blue debris which appears ot have &quot;grown&quot; on it.&nbsp; This seems to wipe off easily, you can still see some in the depe parts of the coin becasue I was relucant to scrub it.&nbsp; What is this?</p><p><br /></p><p>2) There is an 1812 SUD 2 reales piece I cannot find in my book.&nbsp; I have a few of these, the one I scanned was ;labeled to be double stamped.&nbsp; I know this was a turbulent period in Mexico&#039;s history.&nbsp; What are these.&nbsp; I have 8 reales 1812 and 1813 examples too.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) A couple coins have solder.&nbsp; How badly does this affect the grade?</p><p><br /></p><p>4)&nbsp; There is an 1820 2 reales piece.&nbsp; According to my Mexican guide book this coin is quite rare in the condition I have.&nbsp; However, the coin I have is slightly different from the example in the book.&nbsp; Different letters with the mint and assayer and shield/pillar on the back -- is this a non mexican coin from another latin american country?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again,</p><p>David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
