Fake Portuguese c/m on Spanish Mexico 8 reales

[narper]

Hi!

 

I was making a study on Portuguese crowned shield c/m (Law of 01SEP1834) applied on Spanish real de a ocho.

After a reserch in web sites I realize that chinese fakers are know producing the type.

As everybody knows that report that to ebay is a waste of time, here is the notice, as I think the best way to fight agains that scam is to make it public.

 

This one directly from their origin: Peoples Republic of China

And this 2 from an American seller that depicted border pictures to ensure that hoax.

If you check both sellers feedback you will see that they have made business earlier.
