New C/S Guatemala Peso. Post your favorite counter stamped coins!
Won this 1894 Guatemala peso the other day. Really looking forward to getting this one in hand.
As with most everything else in the Dark Side realm, I’m a work in progress. One thing I do know is that original skinned lightly circulated material with this general look is right in my wheelhouse.
I’d love to see some of the cool c/s stuff you guys have in your collections. Post em here if you got em!

Here is one I recently picked up, a Mexican War of Independence insurgent cast 2 reales with the Suprema Junta casting stamp. I was very glad to get it, the denomination is rare to begin with and most are in very rough shape.

Not sure if I've posted this one before but it's both counterstamped and punched.

Two Costa Rica Carrillo countermarked 8 Reales. Check out the differences between the two marks. The second mark far scarcer than the first.

Only counter stamped coin I own, bought it in 1989 since I thought it was really unique to see. Got it slabbed a few years ago,

Not sure this one will meet anyone's standards for beauty, but the history sure is there. From the insurgent Zimapán mint:
