Before I begin, I did not dig this.

So, I usually don't have many issues finding prices and such online, but I am having quite the time with this one. Can any of yall peoples out there take a gander at what it's worth? I have a strong feeling that there are some people far better with Non-US coins on the forum than me lol.

There is a problem however.

I am not at all knowledgeable on these coins, and I initially assumed that it was indeed the overdate, as it looks near identical to other examples online, but now I am not so sure, it looks FAR to thin to be the remnants of a 1. When first looking at pricing for the coin I noticed that the letters on the coin weren't ones that were listed on the site with the others. At first I assumed this was an error because of the fact that the date on the coin matched the date that had the overdate error. However, after looking further, The "P.R." seems to indicate that this is a Bolivian coin. Despite overdates also being present in several years in the Bolivian coinage, 1782 is NOT a year that is listed as being a known year for overdates.
Soo... could this be a die crack on the 2 instead of the remnants of a 1? I had thought so, but the overdate examples look quite alike to it.
I don't know. Give me your best Crack at it.
Thanks as always, and good luck out there.
