1867 San Louis Potosi Quartilla. What do you guys think? Does it have a shot as XF?

You're planning on slabbing it???

Something wasn't right about these random "circles" on reverse, which made me look closer at the rest of the fields. After examining the "scratch" on the obverse I realized something - this is an overstrike! I started to look closer at the obverse and noticed upside-down "O....AV.." (under the eagle's wings). There's also some lettering bleeding-through (look at 4 o'clock on obverse), which looks like "LIBER..." Also, the top "scratch" on obverse seems to contain letters, as well.
Octavo Real sounds like a possibility, although I thought that 1/8 would be smaller in size than a 1/4. Quick search in Krause and I had my host - 1836-1846 Octavo from Zacatecas (KM#339).
Does that sound plausible? Could Potosi Mint use previously-struck Octavos to double their value as Quartillas? That's doubling the value! One might also wonder how many of those were overstruck and how scarce the remained ones are...

Andy, I need a 5th coin for a submission and I don't want to send any of my primary collection pieces
