<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 192068, member: 7539&quot;]Here&#039;s a new Cap&#039;n&#039;Ray contemporary copy I bought at a small show in Paris, Ontario, last weekend:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/coin/Mexico-1836-PI-8R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Close-up of the reverse doubling, which is due to the method that was used to make fakes in the 1830-40 period. (rocker press with a heated planchet, which required numerous strikes to impress the image, since this process didn&#039;t produce enough pressure) </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/coin/potosi-closeup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also picked-up am 1821 Zacatecas 8 Reales, which is either counterfeit, or made from re-worked dies. I&#039;ll have to examine it closely tonight. </p><p><br /></p><p>~Roman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
