<p>[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 495586, member: 8959"]Garrett, my feeling is that your coin is real. The appearance looks OK (but cleaned), as does the edge device. I have a few of these, and yours compares well. According the SCWC the coin should weigh 27 grams.</p><p>It is a fairly common date Mexico City mint. I don't think there is a danger that anybody would counterfeit this. You need to be careful however with the rarer dates and mints, for example Santiago and Popayan mints, as well as the 2-Mundos (previous 8 reales type) of all mints, which is generally very much sought by collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
