schockergd Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 02/26/2012 10:26 pm A family member wanted me to take a look at a coin for them. It's a Mexican 8 Reales and I'm completely out of my league. I know that counterfeit coins can be a issue quite often, hopefully from pics you can get a good idea. Report this Post to the Staff

Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 686 Posts	Posted 03/16/2012 11:10 pm Hard to tell from the pics. Strike seems ok. I'm a little concerned that the edge looks irregular or banged up and the faces look pretty clean. Search the forum for swamper bob comments for more info than I can provide.

Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 686 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 02:25 am This coin does not "look right." Lettering is kind of screwy, denticles are bad. Weight and edges are important. I would not buy this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 04:08 am I don't like the way those denticles look like, especially from Mexico (this is not Lima ...) Moreover, letters look 'fat' and rounded, often a bad sign. As told earlier, a picture of the coin's rim would help a lot ! (but those are hard to shoot ...) Report this Post to the Staff
