[QUOTE="realeswatcher, post: 25307709, member: 148396"]By style, that top 2E is peninsular Spain, Philip II... should be Seville, 1588-97 (type with the date R of shield). Something was done to that coin at some point for some mounting purpose or similar - that's not just weak peripheral strike and/or heavy wear. What's the weight? robinjojo, on that 2nd piece, Mex 8R assayer F, I think we're seeing part of GRATIA rather than a 1610s date (discerning those T I A letters vs. a possible decade digit 1 can be tricky on these). 3rd piece is Mexico, definitively 1634-54 assayer P (easy to narrow by the pomegranate section of the shield). All are genuine. Shown below is proper rotation for all (3)... it helps visualize better, which makes recognizing features and attributing more intuitive: [ATTACH=full]1616718[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
