1835 Zs OM Contemporary Forgery 8 Reales - Defaced

Description: I'm selling an 1835 Zs OM 8 Reales (contemporary forgery), which is imitating a genuine issue from the Zacatecas mint. My opinion is that the coin was likely defaced upon being discovered to be counterfeit to discourage further circulation. The coin weighs 23.85 grams and has an estimated specific gravity of 8.9, compared to 10.3 for a genuine coin. A previous owner did an XRF test, which indicated a composition of Ag (19.48%), Ni (12.5%), Co (7.3%), Fe (0.375%), Zn (15.07%), Cu (51.03%), and Pb (0.42%). Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you!
