These Boliviana Counterstamps are a little bit common. You see them every year in some coin-auctions and mostly at around 150-250 US Dollar depend on the quality of the counterstamp

Another Manila 1828 Counter Stamped Coin from Peru with the rare Manila 1828 Stamp. Those are hardly to get today. Just remember the mintage of 1828 was only 72820 at that 180 years ago.

The 8 Reales Mexico counter stamped coins are the most copied coins from the forgers. I don´t know why but maybe the host coins was easy to get. Here we have an orignal Mexican coin with one of the early Counter Crowns 5-4-2. I like the coin but i hate the counter stamped coins with chinese chopmarks
