I am wondering if the coin was a Class 2 silver counterfeit? The inverted MO and assayer would have been of no interest to the Chinese and even the English bankers would have treated a full weight silver imitation as genuine for countermarking purposes. However, bottom line it is a COUNTERFEIT coin.

Too bad it is in a plastic tomb - no SG or XRF possible.

Genuine counterstamp?
There are lots of not genuine counterstamps.
Making a counterfeit 8R valuable because genuine counterstamp?
Just thinking aloud

The stamp lacks facial details and has a less than convincing outline. I can not believe it is genuine.
