<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 1805785, member: 57741&quot;]Its a book depicting over a 1,000 contemporary counterfeit 8 Reales of the Portrait types for Carolus III, IV and Ferdinand VII. Its main author Robert Gurney (Swamperbob) is the principal author. Myself (John Lorenzo) and Gord Nichols of Canada have been on this project for the last four years. Many of the specimens have been XRF analyzed and we have confirmed over 15 different metal alloys. Each counterfeit will be given a GNL # (Gurney/Nichols/Lorenzo #) for a respective variety which will be plated in the book using two CD&#039;s since normal book plating would be two expensive and impractical for this project. We break down these counterfeits into four classes: Class 1 - struck with the regals, Class 2 - China export type counterfeits primarily of a debased silver alloy, Class 3 - Modern types &amp; Class 4 - other miscellaneous types. All Class 1 types will be plated and most have been XRF confirmed in their alloy contents. It should be a book that is actually decades ahead of any other contemporary counterfeit book or article currently published - but that is just my biased opinion &lt;BG&gt;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>United States[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
