    How did you detect the counterfeits? Does that relate to your other post asking about the weight tolerances?

    I'm going to spend some time on this post once i'm home from work tonight. Sounds like an exciting purchase if you consider both history and risk associated with this series.

    Which ones were counterfeit? Did any of the coins have chopmarks?

    That 1842 Zs OM - is it Type I or Type II eagle? Can you post the reverse?

    Also, might want to check if 1832 Zs OM is a 32/1 overdate.

    1835 Guanajuato looks to be the "star on cap" variety, but if it's not, could be a scarcer issue.

    If 1843 Go is the previous die style (1830-1843) AND coin axis variety - it's a pretty rare issue.

    That '67 Chihuahua is pretty scarce, as well. Not sure if it's cleaned, but looks to be in a decent condition. Check the 1871 Ca for a 71/0 overdate, as well. 1877 is also a scarce one from Chihuahua.

    Could you please post clear pictures of the 2 you believe to be fake. Looks like you bought yourself a nice collection of Reales, should be fun going through and examining each one.
