<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1387949, member: 28550&quot;]I uploaded a few pictures to try and help diagnose these - thank you for sharing your expertise:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1. What is the Petrust error?</p><p>2. The counterstamp appears to be a 20, but it has an odd &quot;2&quot; that I may be misreading.</p><p>3. Nope. Not sure at all. But, the date and mint mark seem pretty clear, and it&#039;s definitely a 40 counterstamp. Since the host coin was defaced, I&#039;m only guessing it was an 80 Reis as it is the same size/weight as the three other 80 Reis coins I have. Why? Is this an unusual combination? Or possibly an impossible/counterfeit one?</p><p>4. I think it&#039;s an M mint mark. It is below the date, where I found an R or&nbsp; B on some similar coins listed online. But, I didn&#039;t find an M and am&nbsp; wondering which dates minted at that mint so I can narrow down what this&nbsp; coin might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>To view larger versions of the pictures, you can click the uploads here twice or go to my Flickr account and &quot;view original&quot;:</p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/" rel="nofollow">www.flickr.com/photos/georgemo/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
