Coins, like alcohol or food, are just detracting from my life. I am liquidating everything and never looking back.

Fuck no. I’m trying to offload everything at once at a wholesale bid price to someone who’s going to turn around and make 40% reselling all this crap.

I hate myself.

Not a joke.

I look at my visage in the mirror each morning and I mouth out the words, “I hate you. I fucking hate you. Die faggot, die! Die! Faggot! Die! Die! Die!”

How is it distracting?

Have you bought any books or learned anything?

Have you made any purchases from legitimate dealers or auction houses?

Also note that buying a handful of coins isn't numismatics; it's buying a handful of coins. Numismatics is the scientific/archaeological/historical research side; the most rewarding, but not something you seem to have delved into in the least.

I bought a Mexican 8 Reales “Pillar Dollar”

It has a chop mark in it

So I am trying, but I realized I don’t care anymore

What's its attribution?

Are you able to read & interpret the legends?

Who made the chop mark?

Where did it circulate?

I guess I don't understand what you are "trying" to do. Are you just buying hunks of metal and expecting some extracorporeal experience from looking at them once?

Coins are just pieces of metal. Their meaning arises from their context (and pursuit of discovering that context), not from route acquisition.

What you're doing sounds like someone who buys a bunch of books and never opens a single one, then complains that they have a bunch of dumb books lying around the house.

Some Chinaman chopmarked it on the streets of old Canton when it was accepted in exchange for some goods destined for the transpacific trade in the mid 19th Century.

A good start... where'd you learn that piece of info? Why are you interested in countermarked coinage?
