I know this post is over three years old, but will the person that contacted me from New York ( that does research on these ) please get in touch with me as I deleted your email address. A friend that knows someone who found an 8 reale plate would like to get some information from you. " Thank You".

Dave its definitely a counterfeiter's plate as you can clearly see where the pouring port is but I can't offer any more real information . Thats why I contacted Frank in hopes he still had some info about the guy who was more versed on counterfeits or knew some collectors.
we might need a page that holds a list of good contacts ...
relic restoration and repair
counterfeit collectors
ect. ect.

Dave, have you gone back to the spot to see if you can find the other side? It could have been picked up by another detectorist already, I understand. Too bad you can't distinguish whether it was used for a Carlos III, IV or Ferdinand as they all had the same reverse. Nice find tho. I wasn't on the forum when you found this.
