[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3265131, member: 99642"]The first 2 pix are very blurry and they are of coins I know very little about.Starting with the 3rd pic I can tell you what little I know about these coins/pix : #3 is a Pillar Dollar from 1738. It was minted in Mexico City, Mexico. It is a Spanish coin because at that time Spain ruled Mexico. #4 is an 8 Real also minted in Mexico City from the time of Philip V, King of Spain. The M with a dot over it is the mint mark for Mexico City. The F under it is either the initial of the mint master or the assayer. #5 I believe the date is either 1781 or 1791. The ruler is King Charles IV of Spain. #6 I believe this is the reverse of the Charles IV. It is also an 8 Real minted in Mexico City. The initials F and M near the rim refer to the assayer/mint master. I am not an expert on any of these, but that is my take on several of them. There are other members who can help you much more than I can, and perhaps give you evaluation advice. I try not to evaluate other people's coins without being much more sure about the coin itself.
