tatt2ed13 if you enter counter stamped in the search box upper left of page you will find some info. I find a few every year with my roll searching. You can start a nice collection from roll searching. John1  |

Ment to add - My confusion came from thinking that the "Counter Stamps" were the ones I've seen with say A "BANKs" names on them or something of them lines .. lol ... Honest mistake ... And really appreciate the help and guidance to finally know what its proper name / classification is .. Now reading more into them then I did a few years ago , I see it goes for anything stamped into the coin in general .. As always , Learning alot from you guys and seeing more just helped me understand that they "DONT ALL HAVE BANK NAMES"  ... Phil \m/ |

Counterstamps are probably most prevalent on early copper coins where they were used for advertising purposes. Counterstamps could also commemorate events like Apollo 13 posted by CaptainFwiffo or the Bicentennial posted by Fuzzy317. This Seated Liberty quarter most likely commemorated the Centennial-  Edited by biokemist6

I see it goes for anything stamped into the coin in general .. Not quite. If the stamping is done by a private individual or business for the purpose of decoration, advertising etc then it is a counterstamp. If it is done by a government to re-value the coin or it mark it as being acceptable for use in a different area/country, then it is called a countermark. And if it is done by an individual or business for the purpose of guaranteeing genuineness or value it can be called a chopmark. |
