    Not my area of expertise, but I would guess 64 on the first and 63 on the second.

    Those are my thoughts too....

    I was advised to wait to submit all these raw 8 reales I purchased from the MortenandEden sale until after the mystery seller is revealed as it was suggested they are worthy of a provenance.

    Oh, they'll have provenance regardless at the rate you are collecting these things. One of these days I may own a coin in the Ex Dan collection lol.

    Just found this one mislabeled in the wrong box.
    Worth grading??
    The carbon spots seem problematic

    I'd send that in if it were me. Surfaces look clean with some rainbow toning around the edges. I'd say it gets a choice grade of 63-64. The spots do affect the eye appeal, but I don't see a lot of surface marks on this coin which helps it out a lot.

    Curious to why you say that Boosibri? The Carbon Spots?

    Well....the coin is a common date in at best low UNC (60-61). The carbon spots are a detractor. Pricing on this grade is $100-$200. Consider the costs of grading and shipping etc and the economics don't really work.
