usaoldliu New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 10/25/2017 11:32 pm I bought this interesting 1835 8 Reales Zacatecas as one of the millennium coins. It looks so weird since it is only 25.87g and diameter is 37.68mm, thickness 2.50mm. The most weird part is that has Reverse edge. Then I thought it must be a fake one until I read swamperbob's comments on this thread http://goccf.com/t/99996&SearchTerms=1835,8r SG test result around 10.1 , not accurate , first time to do it. The image showing it has double strike on on "835" and "O", dot , "M" as well. Any idea about this interesting coin, fake or First time to post here as well. Not quite sure the images got uploaded or not . Report this Post to the Staff

So the alloy without XRF analysis is probably a debased silver alloy with copper. I detail this phenomenon on many types in my upcoming book - "Forgotten Coins."
