Vfox Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 If anyone has seen the "want to buy" section lately I'm sure they've noticed my long list of 8 reale type coins I am trying to purchase. Anyway I am no expert on counterfeit detection when it comes to the pillar types and I am hoping someone here may be much more knowledgeable than I am on this matter. I am thinking of bidding on this coin in the next 8 hours or so, can you guys help me decide if it's a legitimate one or not? Thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/1769-Genuine-Mexico-Pi...1QQcmdZViewItem Item # 200232112501 if link isn't working On a side note, it looks to have been plugged at the top. Obviously I wouldn't bid too much over the current price for a plugged coin, but I still need to know if I should even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 It appears authentic, but I cannot tell what that damage is, it could indeed be plugged, or it could have been flattened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I's pass on this one. Of course I would pass on anything on ebay over a few dollars. I trust ebay as much as I trust a used car salesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
