Emergency Issue 8 and 4 Reales over-stamps

Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd start a new topic on this, there is much to debate, not for the first time I am sure!

A while back I acquired 2 'pieces of eight' examples, the type collector in me wants at least a 4 reales, example and an octagonal counter-stamp example.

Here are my 2 (Mexico and Bolivia (Potosi) mints), would love to see other members' examples! :)

Looking for a Guatemala, Chile and the two Spanish mints.

Not strictly mine, but an octagonal marked Potosi 4R that I sold a few years ago and recently bought back in. Rare coin.

Wish this is mine. 

It was actually exhibited in the Tower of London

This is my only one - not one of the scarcer ones but attractive enough. Pity about someone scratching WW into the obverse.

You could always claim it was William Wyon as a child!
