Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 2:57 pm I think it's a bit less than XF 40, perhaps 37 or 38. However, are you sure it's genuine ? I, unwittingly, bought a fake a couple of years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 3:26 pm Pertinax- Yep, I'm 99% sure that it's real. I have seen fakes when in Spain, and I accidentally bought one back in 2008. So I have become much more familiar with this type of coin. It is amazing just how many fakes flood Spanish coin shows. I went to one in Barcelona one time, and I swear that about 40% of all coins for sale were fake. But, luckily, most were horribly bad fakes (8 Reales with raised chop marks, fake 5 Peseta coins with a fake George III counterstrikes - quite an anachronism, fake coins with the wrong reverse, etc) , so it was not too difficult to find real coins.
