<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 355638, member: 112&quot;]We have one major problem here - the Lima mint was ordered closed by Royal Decree on April 10th, 1660. It did not re-open until December of 1683. </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, what you have here looks like an 8 reales from Potosi, the mint in Bolivia. But there are a few problems - the most glaring of them being that whoever made the coin kind of made a whoops, the date on the obverse says 676, the date on the reverse says 76. Now I know of no variety like this, but I have several books I have to go through to make sure. So right off, I think the coin is a fake. But I&#039;ll do the research and get back to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
