<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 1812185, member: 57741&quot;]The new forthcoming book to be released at the American Numismatic Society on counterfeit Portrait 8 Reales in late 2014 will help with questions like this coin. On genuine pieces their is normally an overlap area 180* apart from one another for the edge design (i.e., overlap of the circle/square designed edge). Viewing the edges of these pieces is critical. Also the weight is normally in a tight range between 26-27 grams. This could be die wear but its an interesting coin if the edge and weight translate to being normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>United States[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
