<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1785719, member: 4373&quot;]Won this recently - a really strong and clear overstruck coin from Brazil with good details of the underhost. Only thing that&#039;s detracting is the hole but otherwise coins in conditions like this can be very very pricy.I reckon it&#039;s easily in XF condition. I also like the light toning around the legend.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1022062.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The original host coin is clearly identified as a 1813 8 reales. Only thing I didn&#039;t quite get is identifying the origins of the 8 reales. Appearently you can identify them by mintmaster marks but I don&#039;t specialize in South American coinage. The seller has already identified it as a Lima coin which i took it for granted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>From what I understand, Brazil has a history of overstriking and counterstamping coins in particular the Spanish / South American 8 reales. I don&#039;t quite understand the various denomination that was released in that particular era and would like to know more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
