<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1970658, member: 42034&quot;]It&#039;s not an 8R as the edge scalloping appear to better fit a smaller coin.&nbsp; The two &quot;star like&quot; things next to the shield on the obverse are &quot;rosettes&quot; and denote it as a 1/2 real.&nbsp; The M with the circle above, denotes the mint as Mexico City for the ViceRoyalty of New Spain.&nbsp; Unless there are some edge bangs I can&#039;t see, I&#039;d call it a nice VF.&nbsp; The silver purity is 11 Decimos or 11/12th pure or .9166 fine. 1758 is a common date.&nbsp; Dan Sedwick (The cob &amp; Pillar specialist) is selling a VF one for $85 but yours looks a tad nicer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
