realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 3:52 pm A well-known fake type... If this was a cleaned (genuine) coin, you'd consider this a pretty good recoloring: http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Reales-18...310778379752 Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 11:10 am Yes, the toning does no seem all that unconvincing. But I lack the knowledge to spot this right away as a counterfeit. This one, a 'scarce Santiago 8 reales' he sold a while back is even more darkly toned. http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Reales-17...em4859e96071 I have a lot to learn concerning how to detect counterfeit of spanish colonial coins.

TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 2:35 pm Yup, that one looks like bleach, as well. Bleach turns silver nearly black in color. The patina is pretty thin, so some rubbing on the high points will give it that circulated look. Report this Post to the Staff
