<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2222383, member: 15019&quot;]Always suspicious of Azores counterstamps on late 19th century Spanish coins. They make no sense. This GP counterstamp was used on other coins of Portuguese origin, such as colonial pieces from Brazil and Goa, India. They were also used on older Spanish reales, but when you are looking at later on in the 1870&#039;s-80&#039;s, there is no reason for them to use Spanish coins. Also, nearly all previous examples I have seen of the GP stamp on later 19th century Spanish coins were either counterfeit coins or modern stamps on genuine coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
