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.

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

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.
