realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 4:48 pm Could the title of this thread magically change to "Azores 1887 counterstamp on U.S. half dollar" or something similar so people who might be interested may see it? World forum would probably be best, too (a more typical example - on a Spain 1/2 real - was posted the other day). This purports to be a 600 Reis denomination. These are not my expertise, but I've never seen the stamp on a U.S. piece. Interesting variety if it were to be genuine, but due diligence is required here. As that good informational post very correctly notes: Quote: The modern counterfeit counterstamps abound in huge variety... unfortunately they are the ones that most appear on the market. Do you have the reverse photo (an important part of evaluating stamps)? Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 6:09 pm Title has been updated but I believe an admin has to move the thread. Here is the reverse. Edited by cointagous 02/18/2018 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
