Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 632336, member: 19250"]I just rewrote my reply... at first glance your coin to me is the real Mccoy...however after looking at the Assayer mark I now question my call. Here's what I found on this coin and date . Mexico mint established in 1535 your coin has the OM mint mark. the first coins minter there in 1536. it continued to produce coins until 1821 In 1732 the first pillar dollar coins minted with a new screw press technolgy. now the clincher the assayer on your coin is M >>>> M assayer there were two the first from 1728-1732 the second from 1737-1740 coins after that were assayed by "YA" in 1722-1733 "E" from 1733-1738 "P" 1740-1742 "C" 1741-1745 "q" 1744-1760 "E" 1750-1753 "C" 1753-1754 "J" 1759 AND "V" 1760-1773 your coins assayer "M" and does not match the date to the assayer. Sorry but thats what my references say Paddy I need to correct my find as the reference book I used flipped pages on me when I left my desk. I was looking at the posti mint assayers not Mexico City. IMO from the pictures posted and my reference book on reales this coin is 100 % real I apoligize for the mistake. Paddy[/QUOTE]
