<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jgenn, post: 2881258, member: 78525&quot;]Take a careful look at the edge of your coin.&nbsp; The design was struck on a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaing_machine" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaing_machine" rel="nofollow">Castaing machine</a> or something very similar in which a coin blank was passed between a pair of parallel dies.&nbsp; Two points opposite each other on the edge will show a section of overlap of the edge design.&nbsp; This is one of the best visual clues for genuine 8 reales as it seems the counterfeiters don&#039;t bother to duplicate this technique.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]690651[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
