I was looking at Colonial ans Spanish 8 reales on Ebay today and noticed several had tiny markings, ha almost looks like some treasure signs i've seen. You can tell their not just scratches, one even had a very small Swatztica, or ever how you spell it. Don't know if this is some kind of "coin art" or somebody's trying to say something. Never noticed anything like that before on coins and i've looked at a lot!

The sellers are calling the signs on the coins "chop marks", what ever that means.

Did a little research and it seems previous owners of the coins made the marks so they could identify them if need be, should have thought of that, just never noticed the marks before. So many Guests and so few Posts!
