<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1827429, member: 22729&quot;][ATTACH=full]300961[/ATTACH] Just picked this up on eBay in a small lot of counterstamps. I love these stamped Spanish silver coins (1800 2-Reales). The &quot;T.M./1848&quot; is unlisted and not attributed, but looks to have an outside chance at attribution. Two things going for it; the date and the odd, unusual shaped &quot;T&quot;. The serif at the base of the letter only extends to the right and not all the way across as you would expect. I looked at it under strong magnification thinking it might be a broken punch, but it isn&#039;t. The corner is smooth, so it was made that way. It an interesting diagnostic that could someday lead to an attribution. The date pretty much takes the guesswork out of when it was struck. Any little bit helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
