Newp 1816 Brazil 960 Reis over Spain 8R How does PCGS grade these?

gummibear

Just won this nice overstruck 960 Reis. It looks to be on a 1808 or 1809 Spain 8R. It looks to be a well preserved original coin underneath. I haven't seen one on a Spanish one before. Are these much rarer? I first spotted this for the nice toning and condition then spent a bit of time trying to figure out the host coin. Can't wait to get it in hand. I am sure I will be able to figure out the date.
Let me know how you think I did.

One more question. Does PCGS grade with the host coin noted or is that an extra fee?

thanks,
Richard

Awesome looking coin with strong impressions of the undertype. All my 960's are overstruck on Spanish colonial 8R's rather than the ones from the mother country and I've not seen one like yours.

Coincidentally I won a new 960R just last night that appears to be double struck on the coat of arms side.

Cool.
I always like nice striking errors, too.

Nice coin, like that you can see parts of the host coin. I have no idea about the rariety. Good purchase.

I had one of those, once. It was nice, too. With clear undertype details.

Yours is nicer, though.

Good question that should be called in to customer service.

Nice coin.

I've had several graded that do not attribute the host coin.
