Nice finds! You might want to research the "Counter-stamped" name as coins Counter-stamped with a specific name or initials attributed to a certain person, can have significant value. Also, the Spanish Colonial Copper coins were called Maravedis.

Added: I found L.H. Plumb on the list of Counter-Stamps for coins and as stated above, additional research may turn up that your' coin with the counter-stamp is valuable or not.

Fantastic coppers! I love the Plumb one. That's very cool.

That counterstamp is such a cool find. I absolutely love how personal they are. It's awesome to find a coin/ personalized item all in one. Let us know what you find out about it.

Will do, I believe Plumb was a jeweler and to stamp any coin would be to serve as a add for their business as
well for assurance of authenticity of the coinage. Definitely one of favorite finds...
