[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 314975, member: 360"]So: 1497-1864. 90% fineness. Minted in Lima, Peru. My coin is 26.30g. I attributed this to how worn it is around the edges. The shop I bought it from is one of the biggest coin dealers in the country, in business for nearly 90 years. They assured me they had a rigorous system of cross-checking through numerous experts before any of their coins were put up for sale. I'd like to think that it paid off and that the coin's genuine.[/QUOTE]
