Spanish 8 reales, Real or Fake ?

[Kevin in IN]

Hello all. I bought these at an estate auction. We don't see these much around here like you folks out east do. Just thought they were cool. What I would like to know is if they are the real thing or fakes. The 1796 weights 26.45g and measures 4cm. The 1792 weights 26.2g and measures 3.8cm.

Initially, I see no problems with either.
The bottom one is loaded with interested 'chop marks'.
The weight is OK.

The top coin is from Lima, Peru; the bottom from Mexico City.

I bought a pillar dollar and it turned funny colors after a few weeks. Guess I'm up the creek.

Anything silver in our house, tones very fast if left exposed to the air. We blame it on our crappy well water.
