<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cncman, post: 574571, member: 17256&quot;]Thanks, I am not doubting your opinion, you certainly know more than I do on the coins. I was wanting to know for my own knowledge how a coin in a large collection would be so far out of weight. In my mind .16g isn&#039;t a big varience especially when you consider wear on the coin, so I am just trying to reconcile the facts with the opinions. I can certainly see the elements you are talking about in the fake coin you posted, that looks like other cast fakes I have seen, it is grainy and kind of mushy. But it doesn&#039;t look like my coin. On the genuine coin you posted could you show me specifically the differences you are talking about between that one and mine? Again, not challenging you, but the differences I can discern are because of the different design being an 8 reales. I would like to know more about the differences. Also, if you have an online link for reference on all of the spanish milled coinage please let me know, I would like to do more research on my own and I don&#039;t get a lot of results from googling. Here are a couple of closer pics, I don&#039;t know if they will give a definitive decision either way for you. But thanks again for all your help, it has been very informative, my dealer said he has a collector that specializes in these and he will find out if he can meet me in the shop when he comes. I will let you know what they say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
