<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3037181, member: 112&quot;]There&#039;s nothing that catches my eye right off to make me suspect it, but that doesn&#039;t really mean much as some counterfeits were quite good. Do you own this coin or are you just thinking about it ? I ask because if you own it an exact weight would be helpful, even if not necessarily definitive. The maximum permissible weight for an 8 reales was 27.2638 grams, the minimum was 26.8646 grams. So if it&#039;s within that range - it might be genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you could always just buy the book -</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Counterfeit-Portrait-Eight-Reales-Un-Real-Reales/dp/0990802906/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Counterfeit-Portrait-Eight-Reales-Un-Real-Reales/dp/0990802906/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Counterfeit-Portrait-Eight-Reales-Un-Real-Reales/dp/0990802906/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
