<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8226941, member: 110226&quot;]I know the feeling. I got burned on a transaction over 20 years ago, when I bought a 1767 Potosi pillar from a guy in Singapore.&nbsp; The coin was a fake, so I sent the coin back for a refund.&nbsp; The seller simply vanished, a real crook.&nbsp; I should have known better and really only have myself to blame, but those are the lessons we go through, hopefully a little more the wiser next time.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that you should have, if you don&#039;t have one, is a digital scale, with at least a two decimal point display.&nbsp; They&#039;re not expensive and very helpful in making an initial test on a coin&#039;s authenticity.&nbsp; Spanish 8 reales are suppose to weigh around 27 grams, with some variation depending on the period made and other factors, such as salvage, corrosion or clipping, to name a few.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
