It seems self explanatory but the facial features on the heads side seem different from other coins I've found online of the same details, so I am assuming it is a replica. I am not very versed in this kind of thing though and would appreciate a second opinion. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Below is a link to the tutorial. It can be a little finicky at first, but is easy once you get the hang of it. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Just on the obverse - the denticles, date, lettering and Carolus bust are all off when compared to a legit example. Compare yours to this specimen -> http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/M..._FM_8_reales Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 12/23/2019 11:18 am Sorry to say but your coin is a reproduction, a common fake found online and in tourist shops. Good job on your part to have compared it to legitimate examples online and determined enough to be concerned and then reached out to the forum for help. Report this Post to the Staff
