[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 314967, member: 22"]I have it now. What you see as ME is in fact a Monogram of LIMA, the mint from Peru. Your Coin. [ATTACH=full]104453[/ATTACH] Mint marks explanation, Yours is the middle one. [ATTACH=full]104454[/ATTACH] The I & J after 8R are the Assayers initials. Here is the catalogue value of your coin in Krause, I would describe your coin as VG (Very Good) so around $25-$30 US. Its nearly 0.90 silver so not quite Sterling. It should weigh no less than 27grams, the book says 27.0674, allow a little for wear. [ATTACH=full]104455[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
