[QUOTE="Lucky Cuss, post: 1863358, member: 44086"]More of your imges are now loading for me. I don't see anything that sets off any major alarms for me, [I]but[/I] I think you're entirely prudent in having reservations given the venue in which the coin is being offered. Ocho reales denomination coins were widely circulated in China, although this is an earlier issue than is normally seen in that context, and doesn't seem to have been chopmarked as is so often the case, so those ancillary aspects would be of some concern to me. I think this may well come down to how it's priced as to whether you're willing to assume the risk. I'd add that even if it's genuine, the apparent condition isn't so terrific that it'd be a "must have" for my collection in any event. I realize all that probably doesn't help you much in your decision, but unfortuntely given the totality of the circumstances this isn't an obvious call. Oh, and since nobody has done so yet, let me say, "Welcome to Coin Talk."[/QUOTE]
