I want to show you this little Maravedí from the Barcelona mint that I have obtained, I bought it thinking 1719, but now in my hand under a magnifying glass...it is not 19, it is not 18, it is both!!...I thought it would be damaged although The coin is actually very good, but surprise, in the catalog that I use iappears a 19/18...which leads me to think that this could be one of those overdated specimens that also must not be very common... I hope you can see it in the photos, I personally see 9 and 8, it also depends on how you look at the coin the effect becomes more evident. On these copper coins I have observed that when the date is seen even when worn, the numbers are recognizable (not in cases of extreme wear)..here there is no wear, they are clear, but confusing between 9 and 8 (sometimes it is clearly 8 other times it is clearly 9) another detail that leads me to think about the overdate without being able to enter into subjective doubts, especially since there are precedents in the catalog although I could not find a photo of any specimen to compare.

I would like to show you one of the latest additions to my collection, it is 1 Peso from Chile from 1875, silver 900 24,5g 37mm mint 2.128.000. It is a beautiful coin with an impressive Condor breaking a chain with the beak while grabbing a shield with its claw. I like the legend "By reason or by force." I really recommend it.
I have seen that there is a So NM variant, but I don't know what NM mean.

I would like to show you this new addition to my collection...it is 20 Liras from the reign of Vittorio Emmanuel in Italy, it is from 1928 commemorating the end of the First World War, named "Capellone" or "Elmetto". It has a size of 35.5 and a weight of 20 grams of 600 silver. It has a beautiful design on both sides, however Vittorio Emanuele was a renowned numismatist...The helmet, along with that of the Balboa of Panama, is the best placed that I have seen on a coin taking advantage of almost the entire half of the field. If you are used to seeing Vittorio without a helmet, this coin impresses. I also have the reverse, the magnified fascio, and the legend "it is better to live one day as a lion than one hundred years as a sheep", breaks everything!! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and I had to get her.

The defects extend beyond the main diameter of the crushing, I refer again to the areas of the bow and behind the neck.Also although there are sharp shocks like cliffs, everything looks very homogeneous, including the patina.I show a photo of a coin in good condition, as can be seen in the area behind the neck, the original bow is not crushed, but rather a large part of it never existed, leaving drop-shaped reliefs.

Thank you for your answers. I'm not entirely sure if it is PMD. Please note the impressions under the ponytail and behind the neck, they are clearly part of the original mint, but they should not be there, this is clearly visible when comparing it with a coin in good condition.
