Spain - Felipe IV 1636 VI maravedis resello - a question about the mint marks [resuelto]

Este tema se publicó en el foro en inglés.

In his books on the Spanish resellos Lopez de la Fuente shows the mint marks associated with the Felipe IV 1636 VI maravedis resello.  None of these include a simple dot both above and below the VI on the value side of the resello.  Can anyone help by identifying the mint/mints that are associated with this pattern.  Thanks.

The picture on Numista catalog also have dot above and below

N#117839

Thanks.  And we should probably try to modify that Numista page, as that coin has the full 1603 IIII - 1636 VI - 1655 IIII sequence, so the description is misleading.  Can you make out the mint symbol under the 1636??

and the countermark OSS (117 off-flank)

The coin that I posted, like the Numista example, is overstruck by the full resello sequence for that original coin.

That is: a Felipe III 1603 single sided IIII maravedis followed 33 years later by the Felipe IV 1636 VI maravedis and 

finally 19 years later by the Felipe IV 1655 IIII maravedis resello.  The OSS is the date part of the 1655 resello, ie

[1]655, where the 6 frequently looks like an O and the 5s sure do look like S's. I have attached annotated pictures.

impressive !

The single dot below the value on a Felipe IV 1636 resello appears to indicate that the mint mark is under the date.

It just appears that Lopez de la Fuente did not include the dot in his figures.  Attached is a 1636 XII with the dot under the XII

and the mint - Toledo in this case - under the date.
