Listing a coin properly

Hi: A question for any coin experts out there. I have an auction listed currently #8355720015. This item was picked up at an estate sale and I know nothing about old coins. I have described the coin with size, weight and also added not authenticated because I don't know if it's real or not. Is this proper because I keep getting e-mails from an E-bayer suggesting I am not describing the coin honestly. Have I done something wrong in my description. Any input would be appreciated. I always want to be honest with anything I list.
Thanks.

It appears to be a restrike of a 1776 Spanish 8 Real (Pillar Dollar) silver coin of King Charles III, from the Mexico City mint. I believe the originals are around 27 grams, so, in my opinion (subject to correction by experts), at 16 grams, your's seems light, which would support my conjecture it's a restrike....... Fenian

Thanks for the information. I have since cancelled this auction and one other. I don't want any undue problems and want to be sure that any potential clients are satisfied.
Thanks again,
Paul.
