Awesome find there Don.
You've made a lot of great finds over the years. Always impressive. Congrats on your first counterstamped silver!!

Neat find Don, I don't have any counterstamped silver. I'm trying to make out what that stamp is, but I can't quite figure it out.

Are you sure it is not a defaced real? Doesn't look like any sort of counterstamp to me, but maybe someone just intentionally damaged the coin. Nice find either way--hope you can ID it.

That one could be a bit of a challenge, but a better find with than without even if you never ID it.

Nice Don. I have never found a silver with a counterstamp, but have had several LC's and also a couple CFT. 1/2 pennies. I believe I actually gave one to a C-4 member 2 years ago. Congrats and hope ya figure it out. Hogge

Don that is cool with the counter stamp on it. Like everyone said it is a hard one to figure out. If you do figure out which is up and down can you let us know with a pic. It would be cool to ID. CONGRATS!!!

Don,
What is the diameter (mm) and weight (g)?
If you turn the right side image 180 degrees, the number "4" appears; perhaps the last year of the date.
If it's Mexican, it predates about 1822, during the War of Independence when the last reference to "Hispan" was used.
