This particular series was issued in 5 silver denominations and 2 gold denominations.&nbsp; The silver issues are Dollar size coins down to 1/2 real size and for the different host coin types such as Mexican &quot;Cap &amp; Ray&quot;, Spanish colonial bust type, etc. they are all mutilated in a similar fashion per type with where the plug was removed, where the countermark was applied and where the test punch was added. </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at countermarked coinage 1 or 2 at a time it seems that they were countermarked arbitrarily, but in fact there is a method to the madness.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate I&#039;m glad that you think this is a neat piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
