✅ SOLVED 2 Reale mint mark help

Tedyoh · May 9, 2015

Hi, I did not find it but Im posting this for the person who bought my Ace 350, i don't know much about these but my best guess is it was minted in Peru? A Peru mint is a good thing? Im also guessing it may be worth getting graded? Thanks for the help and thoughts!

You guessed correctly: Lima, Peru mint--as shown here:
2 Reales - Carlos IV (IIII) - Peru - Numista

You Da Man, thanks Don!

You're welcome.
Would your friend now tell you where and how he got it?
Don..

Ok Don , this is what i know, and this is from a friend of a friend, all i really know is he found the coin in Newton Falls Ohio, on a property that was built in the late 1700's, supposedly, not that it has anything to do with the find (or does it?), a US President supposedly stayed or visited the house at some point. Thanks again Don.

Where he found one coin, others may be there.
I hope he goes back for more.
Odd to find a Lima, Peru minted coin in Ohio; more likely would have been from Mexico City ( or a token from Lima, Ohio !)

Yes that's exactly what i was thinking, Peru coin in Ohio, i thought my friend was BS'ing me, but i had a few drinks with him today and he swears by it, also I see my 350 in the background of one of the pics, o found more silver with the 350 than the Deus and ATP combined, oh well! !!
