If you are going to try to dump a fake you ought to at least choose a legitimate assayer mark. I don't see a "M" in the books for 1707 in Potosi. This coin has other issues as well, but not necessary to discuss soeone's fantasy...

14 bids. Private bidding - I wonder why....

Comment from a buyer from a 3/31/09 sale by seller:

"coin bought was a FAKE-COPY. Seller claimed ignorance but keeps selling”rare”coins"

Sold for $407. If it was authenticated it would have sold for over $10K at a large coin auction. Feel sorry for whoever bought it. Bidder ID's were private for obvious reasons.
