<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1806260, member: 41780&quot;]Wow, this is a thread going a few months back and I am surprised to find it still active.&nbsp; To be honest, this is one of the last Spanish 8 reales I have bought (though I have bought post-colonial Peruvian 8 reales recently), because, like others, I am wary of counterfeits.&nbsp; I sold another one I bought because it weighed too low for my comfort (25.8-9 grams), though it was declared genuine by an experienced member here.&nbsp; I also suspect these coins had much greater weight variance than commonly believed.&nbsp; This seems like common sense to me, since the technology back then was not what it is today.&nbsp; But I won&#039;t bother debating this point, since I know some members here are firm on their stance on the grams. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding this particular coin: I have it stashed away, and do think about it on occasion as one of my older coins.&nbsp; For $50 it was a bargain.&nbsp; eBay has worked out pretty well for me, overall.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
