My current research project involves these fascinating pieces from Mexico. I
plan on submitting an article on these Spanish-American pieces to the C4
Newsletter publication and the Mexican Numismatic Association Newsletter
involving the debasement of some of these issues which should not exist since
they have the proper non-forgery countermarks. Any collector having these
1811-1821 cast/overstrikes (post 1814 overstrikes with dies) please contact me
privately for a FREE analysis including P&H and if desired reference of your
specimens within the article - if counterfeit (debased Ag) they will probably be
worth more in today's market. Your decision to include/exclude any specimen from
the article. Contact me privately.
