Two Big 8's.

As recently seen on Treasurenet...my best finds are my two 8 reales...I consider myself to be very lucky to have found two in such nice condition.
1798 and 1774 8 reales. Both are Mexico mint.

Now thats what im talking about!

Very nice, especially the 1798! What did you use to clean them, & still conserve the tone on the 1798.

Romeo...sorry to hijack your post but have to ask this....

8 reales....what is that coin in your avatar?? , its one I haven;t seen before and don't recognize it...

The coins in my avatar are the same two coins in this thread. 1798 and 1774 eight reales.

Romeo..thanks for that, but I knew that (nice to be able to hold 2 of em that you dug in your hand.. )...but I was asking 8 Reale what the coin was in his avatar...

LOL...sorry MaineDigger...I confuse easily! That is a later issue Mexican 8 reale (1868) in "8 reales" avatar!

Re: Two Big 8's.

No problem Romeo, I know the feeling of confusing easily too well myself...
Thanks for the i.d. of his avatar, I guess I have never seen the later issue 8 reales...They are neat looking but I kinda like the older ones better.
