<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 52737, member: 1235&quot;]that was the thread that prompted me to create this one.&nbsp; on the third photo in the second posting, I could see clearly that the flat surface &#039;looked wrong&#039;.&nbsp; it was clearly odd.&nbsp; From the first post, I knew it was fake because of the type and year, but most copies, unfortunately, are not so clearly wrong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this thread:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/thread6332-grading-older-mexican-reales-coins-(1730-1905).html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/thread6332-grading-older-mexican-reales-coins-(1730-1905).html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cointalk.org/thread6332-grading-older-mexican-reales-coins-(1730-1905).html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Doug mentions &#039;casting bubbles&#039;, and I should have asked at the time, but I didn&#039;t.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what that is, nor where he spotted them.&nbsp; Since this is the type I collect, I think it is essential, to me, to be able to spot such indication... Like I said, I should have asked when I first read this post a while back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
