    It's a Puerto Rico countermark, and very rare on a Bust Half!

    BTW, it was a steal.

    I like it, but I don't know if I would have paid that much for it.

    BTW, Goldbully, congrats on 10K!

    Interesting. I never saw one when I lived there. Of course, there are not many coin shops in PR, at least there weren't then. Cheers, RickO

    I may have put an early bid on her....had no knowledge of the CM. Interesting but I would not have chased her....

    I thought it was pretty cool. I really would like to see it without the hole and the damage around the hole.

    All of the coins with this countermark have a hole. That was most likely part of the process that was done when they were countermarked.
