8 Real Coins

I have some significant happenings in my family in 1793 with my GGGG
grandparents Justo Puente and Josefa Sanchez being married in Sombrerete
and also my twin GGG grandfathers both named Jose Tadeo Diaz being born
in Sauz de Los Marquez. So awhile back I went to the local Coin store
and had the guy go to the next coin show and purchase me a 1/2 real very
small silver coin dating 1793 for $30. Unfortunately the date is so worn
that you can just tell that it is 1793. So I have had him hunting for a
better coin from that date but his report to me is that that particular
date is hard to come by BUT there are plenty of excellent condition
coins in the period from 1794-1799 in the 8 Real denomination minted in
Mexico.

I have no financial interest in this just though I'd let folks know that
for between $80-$125 range you can get an 8 Real Coin in good shape in
the 1794-1799 time period minted in Mexico. If you have a local coin
dealer you trust have him/her look into it or let me know and I'll put
you in touch with my coin dealer who says he can get them.
