coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 10:19 am It seems, that the UK is one of the main launching markets for newly made forgeries. Here is the most recent one, represented as 8 reales (instead of 4) and of Mexico (instead of Spain): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mexico-SPA...72334882175/ Again, we have here a very deceptive specimen with nice dark deposits, mimicking old oxidation. The seller possibly does not know. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 10:34 am One thing I don't understand is how it's worthwhile for counterfeiters to make a coin that is that inexpensive. What do you think the coin will go for once the auction is over?

coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 10:51 am Well, when one looks at the fake 1733 clipper 8 reales of Mexico the same seller has listed, than the assumption of inexpensive is quickly disappearing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mexico-173...372334881489 Report this Post to the Staff
coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 10:52 am ...by the way the carthwheel penny (8372334872161) seems not to be a product of the soho mint! Edited by coinworldtv 06/24/2018 10:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

afewmorecents Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 4:04 pm What d you see in the OP image to alert us the piece is bad? Is it a die match to a known fake? Link? Is it the association with the 1733? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 10:10 am Both coins are very good forgeries mimicking low-quality coins. I do not think, that you will find a matching piece that easy. These are forgeries produced in low numbers. They could be even made unique if desired. The Hamburg thaler of this seller is another copy in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
