So what is your question? What is the coins thickness? How the coin looks from the side? 

Sorry it’s not ½ real it’s actually 8 real.

 

Can you tell by looking whether it’s genuine or fake? 

 

And how much it cost if I put it on sale?

Genuine ones are valuable. Couple hundreds of euros

 

However

 

Carlos the 3rd was on coins from 1760-1788, and your year is 1732 if I am right, so it should be Felipe V and looks different. Font is off.

Obverse too. 

 

Felipe V coins are worth a lot, so I guess someone etched numbers from lesser value coin and put 1732 instead to “confuse” buyer

In other words, fake.

Good day colleagues.

     I don't have much experience with these coins, I only have one in my collection.

But according to me at first glance - some not very skilled goldsmith's apprentice deleted the last two numbers and wrote "32" in their place - so 17 - it is original and the coin is genuine, only the last two numbers have been changed?

number ,,3,, sloppy and ,,2,, did not mislead slightly. Under the number two is heat-soldered silver-Am I supposed to understand it that way?

Yes.

 

And I noticed a lot of suspicious new accounts recently lol. It is a good practice for us experienced numismatists to see how scams are improving. 

 

If this was real Felipe V silver piece, we would be talking in tens of thousands of dollars value in aUNC/UNC. Usually if that valuable coin is not graded, it is fake. Real collector will always protect his most valuable pieces. 

I  got the coin from your ancestors. My mother just told n gave me a view weeks ago..

 

you got the coin from my  ancestors/ great grandfather..

Well, coin has 26 grams of silver in it and memory of grandpa so keep it as a value.

But dont try to sell it to anyone for hundreds of dollars

tomorrow I will buy an electric scale to measure the exactweight. 
 

thanks for the information I’ll let you know about the update 😊🙏🏻

Your coin has clearly been doctored in an attempt to turn a lesser valued coin into a highly valued coin by changing the date.  It may have happened before your great grandfather got it.  Regardless, because of this forgery, it is worth much less than you want it to be.

 

This is the font style used for the date during that time:

 

I am not going to sell the coin, I just want to make sure of its authenticity and before I go abroad to have it checked, perhaps someone can give their opinion.

In my ancestral pocket that was given to me by my mother some time ago, why is only this one coin being questioned? Can you help investigate it further?

 

This is too beautiful to be declared fake when seen and examined in person

Only the date has been faked.  It started as a genuine one of these:  N#15073

Everything the members of Numista are telling you is correct. Genuine coin, altered date. A genuine Mexico 1732 8 Reales is Felipe V, not Carlos III and would not have the MF initials, only an F

 

N#15066

 

Your coin                                                                 Genuine 1732

 

This makes it a fake or forgery.

 

Enjoy that you have a coin with a first history, and a second one.
