[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4522433, member: 101855"]What do you think of this one? [ATTACH=full]1120342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1120343[/ATTACH] Before you fall in love with it, I'll tell you that it is a counterfeit. A collector put it up one night in our club auction. I flagged it and pointed out the problems to him (bubbley surfaces, chucks of metal indicative of a cast). He gave it to me to help combat the counterfeit problem. Here is another counterfeit of a 4 reale (a very scarce coin) that is more deceptive. I call it the "leaning pillar" variety.[ATTACH=full]1120345[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1120346[/ATTACH] If you don't your coins, you can get stuck with fakes like this. Here is a genuine 4 reale coin.
