<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 234295, member: 66&quot;]It depends on which Brazilian coins you are talking about.&nbsp; If you mean the pieces where they simply counterstamp a number on the coins to change their value then no I would call those countermarked.&nbsp; But if you mean the 960 reis coins where they overstruck the 8 Reales pieces with full size dies then yes those are overstrikes.&nbsp; (I only consider them to be overstrikes if the die used covers all or almost all of the original coin.&nbsp; If it is an official striking but the dies or punch is smaller then it is a countermark.&nbsp; If it is an unofficial marking used for advertising or purpose other than to enhance the coins circulating ability then it is a counterstamp.&nbsp; If it is unofficial but meant to encourage the coins circulation it&#039;s a chopmark.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
