ColinG Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I purchased this off of eBay. My feeling is it's fake. Any other opinions? http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd377/colingullberg/Mex8Robv.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd377/colingullberg/Mex8Rrev.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Compare With the real one Information: Obverse : Laureate and draped bust, facing right; "FERDIN·VII·DEI·GRATIA·"; (date) below, between dots. Reverse : Crowned Arms between pillars; "·HISPAN·ET IND·REX·"; 8R at left, o over M monogram below left and ·J·J· above left. 1) Look Closely at your 'JJ' - not the same - left J (incorrect coz right-hand side of the J 'trunk' should be straight at the base/bottom ) not the same of Right J (correct) 2) Chopmarks stamped onto the coin (around this time) should be fine & small (if the coin has been circulated in China).
