<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2345683, member: 69760&quot;]I can&#039;t find any foreign or US coins that have been counter-stamped by the US Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Specifically, I was hoping to find an 8 Reales coin that&#039;s counter-stamped as a US dollar equivalent, given the legal tender status of the 8 Reales coin for a long period in the US. I know that there are British counter-stamp examples, and probably other nations&#039; Mint examples of counter-stamping the Reales coins, but none that I can find for the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was the 8 Reales so well known to be equivalent to it&#039;s US silver coin counterpart that there was no need for counter-stamping them by the US Mint? It was the colonial standard, after all. Or why were they not counter-stamped by the US Mint? Or were they counter-stamped and are simply uber rare?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
