<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 2107738, member: 57741&quot;]Excellent thread. I know its going to sound like I am promoting my book but Gurney, Nichols &amp; myself address this IN DETAIL in our new book on Counterfeit 8 Reales. The first 250 pages of this book is written for everybody and covers this inquiry - whereas the remainder of the book is for the collector of Eight Reales counterfeits in this 600 page book.</p><p>See Amazon Books - Gurney - Eight Reales - See the Look Inside Link tab.</p><p>More advertsing - if you READ this book it will make you a STRONGER collector particularly if you like contemporary circulating counterfeits both U.S. &amp; Foreign as myself which I have specialized in for the last 30 years. My next book due out in 2017 will expand into different subjects and alot of Material Analysis (XRF) data just FYI. The Look Inside link at Amazon Books should display some pages to answer you questions. THe COPY stamp is only a SMALL part of this explanation in terms of their legaility of ownership or if any laws are being broken in the BUY/SELL situation of counterfeits.</p><p>If anyone has read this book please state here if I have overspoken this announcement or whatever you want to call it. I LOVE collecting counterfeits ... there should be no fear and I HATE this Chinese situations as you say its POLLUTING the contemporary counterfeit market with these modern fakes! HORRIBLE!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good thread ...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>Numismatist</p><p>United States[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
