<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nate D, post: 1889750, member: 68335&quot;][ATTACH=full]321995[/ATTACH] </p><p>Hello, I&#039;m looking for info on a cut 8r coin. It&#039;s halved, just under 2 cm wide &amp; almost 4 cm top to bottom. Weight of .316 oz, 8.97 grams. </p><p><br /></p><p>Very worn but still readable date and letters. &#039;80 showing. Reverse is stamped Tortola. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering how frequently this cut/ counter stamp was done. I&#039;ve read that Tortola is the most common marking but am having a tough time finding info/ varieties of Tortola stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any shared knowledge is appreciated! I do realize this piece is probably not valuable but the history is interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m already ahead on this purchase as it&#039;s absolutely silver, found it hiding in a tub of Buffalo nickels &amp; paid $1 on a whim <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
