Does this 1746 Mexico 2 Reales look right?

I bought this a while back and am photographing it to sell and started noticing some funky things going on. Any help from anyone that knows this series? Thanks in advance.

    Looks OK to me. Rusted dies with repunched / recut letters.

    also looks ok to me, from what I can see.

    Can you get a snapshot of the edge?

    I think it is okay and not a bad looking example

    Looks quite attractive to me. Given the relative crude manufacture of coins from that era, I see nothing that raises red flags to me.

    Looks very nice in my book! But then again it is WAY WAY out of my realm of collecting though I do admire them when I come across 'em. I do have a couple of bigger and newer ones (8 reales of Mexico) that have just kind of appeared in my little hoard of things I like to accumulate but am not actually collecting...
