<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 629757, member: 8959&quot;]You may also want to contact Dan Sedwick. I discussed my coin (see op) with a gentleman there who seemed quite knowledgeable. After comparing pictures, he reassured me about my coin, and also indicated a distinguishing feature of known fakes of the 1772 double dot variety is the &quot;2&quot; in the date missing a little tail. Does yours have this little tail? (can&#039;t see the detail too well on the picture).&nbsp; The other factor is of course the weight. Gilboy gives guidelines as to what an 8 Reales should weigh. Mine weighs 26.854 grams, well within the tolerance.</p><p><br /></p><p>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!</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
