I bought a Mexico 8R coin (KM 377.11) from eBay recently. However, when I received the coin, I found its size smaller than average (in Fig. 3). I talked to the eBay merchant, and the response says the size range of 8R is usually 37.2-40.8 mm, and Oaxaca coins are commonly smaller. I used a Morgan Dollar to tap the edge of the 8R and the sound has a higher tone compared with tapping the edge of Morgan Dollar. Does this overall information indicate that my 8R is likely to be fake?
