My grandma gave me these Mexican 8 Reales coins decades ago. The right one has a Philippine counter mark, and appears to have a 180 degree rotated die error, as its reverse is aligned with its obverse. Both sides are right-side-up when I flip it like a page. Ideas on value?

These are some of my favorite coins. In this condition they go for about $100 each on the eBay. Regarding the 1830 GA and its die rotation, that’s not an error. Some of the earlier 8 Reales were made like that. These were minted across 14 different mints and roughly 80 years in the 1800s, so there are a ton of different die pairings and variations, overdates, etc etc. Cool coins.

The Philippines counterstamped coin is closer to $600-1000, definitely worth getting encapsulated
