Yes he posted the whole necklace. He is making a new post just for this one as of yet unidentified coin

 

[Mackaydon]

Mexican reales coin from reign of Carlos IV 1788-1808. Diameter will determine the denomination.
1R=20mm; 2R=28MM;34mm=4R and 40mm=8R.

I made a mistake on diameter. It is 25 mm,

On the necklace with the mystery coin there is 3 other coins , confirmed 1773,1784,1795 mexican silver reales,
The 1 and 2 reales coins measure as you specified,
The mystery coin does not

 

[Joecoins]

Mystery coin is on the left, 1795 2 reales is on the right, note the size difference, also the reverse image of the mystery coin doesnt match up with the spanish coins for carlos4

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

What Mexican reales? I thought you said Lima and potosi mint. Do any have the Mexican.mint mark? I can't see on my celphon. it would be an M with a little circle if mexico mint

 

[Joecoins]

Reverse mystery and a 2 real

No you are right, maybe i miss unaderstand, is a mexican real different than a spanish real? From potosi/lima, like does the mexican real have a different reverse

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I will have to try and look on my laptop with WiFi. I'm still in the everglades. Its either a Mexico City or Lima Peru or Potosi Bolivia mint mark. It can't be both. They are all Spanish 1 or 2 reales. I don't know the mystery coin still unidentified.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

All 3 are Spanish reales minted in Spanish colonies. There are mint marks on the reverse. Mackaydon can ID them. I can't see on my celphon.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Yes the Mexican mint mark is different from potosi or lima and its on the reverse side. Im sorry i keep losing signal. Are you sure they are Mexican mint Mackaydon?

 

[always diggin]

congrats awesome find.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Both of the 2 reale Spanish coins look like Lima Peru, not Mexico City mint but its hard to see. The Lima mint mark will look like this on this 8 Reale.:



but i think you already determined this

Bigcypresshunter,here is a better img of those

 

[cw0909]

i turned the unknown coin around

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Yea definitely not Mexican. The 2 Reale is from Lima Peru and the 1 Reale is from Potosi Bolivia. But you already knew that.

Mackaydon is great with coins and if you can get him interested, he will ID your mystery coin. He must have misunderstood something or Im missing something lol..

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

The mystery coin may not even be Spanish

 

[Joecoins]

Yes i know the mexico mint marc is different,
I dont have a mexico mint marc ,
Maybe the undetermined coin is? I dont think so
Unless the diference bewteen the coins is more that just mint marks. I thought that is what was beign said
Do i make any sense lol

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I don't think the mystery coin is a Carlos IV Mexican or otherwise. Like you said, It doesn't match. Unless I'm missing something. And as you said, the diameter doesn't match a Carlos IV either.
