Eduard,
"a distinguishing feature of known fakes of the 1772 double dot variety is the "2" in the date missing a little tail. Does yours have this little tail? (can't see the detail too well on the picture)."
Well, I can't tell from my scan either! I'm on vacation right now in Denver, and won't be home for almost a week. The first thing I am going to do after walking through my front door, is look for the tail! Thanks for this information.
I wish for you your coin is genuine - a scarce double dot 1772 8 reales, and with a Phillipines countermark on top - that would be a truly scarce coin!
Thank you very much. I totally agree.
