[QUOTE="fireandice556, post: 26040629, member: 26508"]Mexico Pillar / Columnaria 8-Reales. Mo 1757 MM is the great Pretender. This was my very first columnaria that I bought in a flea market more than three & a half decades ago. As a naive teenager, never knew about counterfeits back then. I just love the design features. In between the years were up and down, hiatus of interest spanning years or decade at times, but still Columnarias were/are my preference. Mo 1578 MM is a more recent pick. The difference between it and the Pretender is striking. [ATTACH=full]1655822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1655823[/ATTACH] Note of the third face of the coin -- the rim. True Pillars would have the overlaps. On 1758, there's the counter-turn at the overlap. [ATTACH=full]1655824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
