| − | This specimen was lot 2038 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $6,600. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - [[Mexico|MEXICO]]. 1/2 Dollar, ND (ca. 1765). NGC VF-30. KM-19 (plate coin, Martinique); Prid-17 (Dominica). Weight: 10.86 g. Type IV countermark: blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges; all on a 1744-Mo MF Mexico pillar 4 Reales of Philip V. This denomination is by far the least seen from this series and should be considered EXTREMELY RARE. This moderately worn example exhibits even wear displaying attractive old cabinet patina with richer slate patination near the edges and in the crevasses. The cut, though slightly uneven from a somewhat degraded punch, offers clear details of the ornamental design and exhibits signs of wear that one would expect from the assigned grade. This highly desirable issue, missing from many important collections, is seldom encountered and is always heavily sought after as few examples are known to have survived today. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: John J. Ford Collection (Glendining's London 10/1989) Lot # 72."

| − | This specimen was lot 2418 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $2,880. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"AZORES. Azores - Portugal. 2 Tostao (200 Reais), ND (1582). Angra do Heroismo Mint. Antonio I (the Prior of Crato). PCGS AU-50; Countermark: AU Details. Gomes-An.26.01; Museu Numismatico Portugues-1992. Issued by decree of August 1582. Countermark: Falcon with shaped indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a undated Lisbon mint Tostao of Manuel I. A SCARCE and seldom encountered issue. The countermark is deeply impressed, though slight[ly] obscured by the host design features, on a nicely preserved host coin. The surfaces are relatively smooth with minor earthen deposits adding to its originality and pleasing appearance. This piece has very little evidence of circulation and the rich gray surfaces give this interesting example an antiquated look.

| |
| − | <p>Due to financial hardships and debasement of his coinage Antonio I issued the 1 April 1582 decree decreasing the value of copper coinage resulting in them being countermarked. Later in August of the same year, another decree was issued that raised the value of all gold and silver coinage of good weight and purity then in circulation, mostly of earlier Portuguese or Spanish origins, doubling their value. This was the easiest way to alleviate the monetary crisis, but copper coinage remained unchanged since there was no profit to be made. When later defeated by the Spanish, all debased coinage of Antonio I was confiscated under penalty of death, explaining their rarity today. Antonio fled to France and eventually to Holland seeking help to re-establish his throne, but failed to gain support and ended his days in France on a small pension."</p></blockquote>

Holland - Deventer. 28 Stuivers (Florin), ND (1693). NGC AU-58; Countermark: UNC Stand[a]rd. KM-69.2; Delm-1110 (without countermark). 'HOL' within rectangle indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of an undated De[ven]ter 28 Stuivers (Florin) of Ferdinand II. This issue appears on the market with some frequency and can usually be found in well-worn and less than desirable states of preservation. Examples found in Extremely Fine or better are tough to locate with pieces nearing Mint State being few and far between and practically nonexistent. This is the finest survivor of this issue that this cataloger has observed and a real treat for the quality conscious collector. The surfaces display light signs of handling primarily contained to the high points with plenty of remaining luster in the protected areas. A thin veneer of tone with areas of richer coloration add to its pleasing appearance and originality.

| − | <p>During the latter part of the 17th Century, Europe saw many circulating coins that were light in weight. As a result, several of the Dutch provinces required coins to be checked. If found to be of correct weight they were countermarked for that specific province or city."</p></blockquote>

Countermarked "NEVIS" with rectangle border within shaped border applied to the obverse of a 1789-A French Guiana (Colony of Cayenne) 2 Sous. The countermark is boldly applied to a nicely preserved host with plenty of remaining detail. The surfaces are smooth exhibiting light signs of handling displaying lovely rich chocolate brown patina. This highly attractive survivor is far superior to that normally encountered, making it destined to catch the attention of the quality conscious specialist."

Toledo Mint. Philip III. NGC AU-55. KM-38.2; cf. Cal-type 172 #985. Weight: 27.36 g. NGC notes this attractive and lustrous 8 Reales Cob as a 1605 dated example, but does not mention a mint. Krause and Calico list only a single mint for 1605, making the current example most likely from the Toledo mint. Boldly struck and with ample mint luster, this is a great example of the ever-popular type."

Associated with local ordinance of 13 July 1818. Stylized "3" within dentilated circulate indent. Applied to the reverse of a 1/5 cut Spanish Colonial portrait 8 Reales, presumably of Charles IIII(IV). The countermark is boldly applied to a nicely preserved host with even wear and attractive mottled gray patina. Much remaining detail with most of the monarch's name is clear, but without the ordinal for a more accurate attribution. A wholesome example of the type that is pleasant and attractive sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. According to a governmental report dated 20th December 1825, after the government ceased buying Dollars to make small change in 3 and 5 parts, cutting was open to anyone and became a general practice with pieces being readily accepted. The report also goes on to confirm their private token status and that they were permitted for general circulation by convention."

Crown within shaped indent applied to a 1782-A Cayenne 2 Sous. The countermark is deeply impressed on a well worn host displaying rich mottled brown patina. Close inspection reveals a slightly rough surface texture accounting for the details designation of "Environmental Damage". Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type great for the beginner to intermediate collector looking to expand their numismatic holdings.

| − | Thorough research conducted by Frank Olrog strongly suggests several periods of countermarking. It appears that after a failed attempt at obtaining colonial coinage, the islands Governor George Trolles followed the lead of other European colonies of the West Indies and authorized and countermarked legitimate and counterfeit coinage for circulation. Lack of official documentation prevents an exact date for these issues. The contemporary local ordinances of Martinique, St. Vincent, St. Eustatius, St. Martin and Tobago, all relating to counterfeit coinage entering the colonies, seems to place the countermarking action on St. Bartholomew around 1797 or 1798."</blockquote>
