Received a new 8 Reales from Craig Keplinger today and it's a neat one. Great luster and light toning.
Appears to have been struck through a small piece of wire and something else that left depressions on Carlos IV's jaw and chest. Definitely has a coolness factor and will fill a slot in my registry set for Carlos IV.
Hope you like the black background - i'm experimenting

Any Die Clash, Crack, Strike Through .. etc only adds character to the coin
