Hi, I asked a while ago about a counterfeit 2 reales.

I just wanted to know a few more things about it...

how old it is?

Where was it probably made?

Is it even silver? If so, then is it plated/coated?

Thanks for any help with this.

Spanish mainland forgeries were mostly made and circulated on the mainland. This is why I would say, that the coin is made in Spain and supposed to circulate theer.

Thanks.

Any idea on how old it is? Would it be around the date, or a lot younger?

Currently putting a study group together and article possibly in Colonial Newsletter via American Numismatic Society. I have documented about 100 varieties. With these types they were all probably silvered. Problem is a brass host does not hold silvering very long unlike copper as withe the Gurney Sheffields of Birmingham. On ebay now just to help locate a third piece I have a Pistareen CCC in probably paktong. See seller johnmenc on ebay. Not a bad piece.
