Don't believe everything that a golf-loving, large-cent hoarding Burlington collector from Oklahoma says either...  This is a very popular counterstamp mark, usually was punched into Newfoundland coins, and highly collectable. The mark is that of Nicholas Ohman from St. John, Newfoundland. I have never seen one punched into a Canadian large cent, and I imagine our CCF friend canadian-varieties would love to see this one... https://goccf.com/t/230338"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

OK, Roger, I recant all my remarks from above. I thought that I had seen almost all of the large cents available in Ontario for the last 20 years .. my mistake and I apologize to Everest. I've seen lots of cruder handstamps on coins, but never a neat one from a special punch like that. And I also misread countermark as counterstamp .. I'm getting too old.

The NO punched onto a Canadian large cent is new to me also. It must be pretty scarce. But, that still doesn't make it worth what the guy is asking!

This is a treasure. Thank you to the four or five people who gave me heads up on this! I am truly appreciative and feel very blessed!  Edited by canadian-varieties

I think that's one great thing about this forum... some people know what others collect and can direct them to it....

Counterstamped coins are neither varieties nor errors.
They are a type of exonumia.
Charlton's did the hobby a great disservice by listing the JOP dollars as varieties.
There is no such thing as a post mint variety or error.

I agree .. they are not varieties or errors .... they didn't leave the mint that way.

how about PMM? (Post Mint Modification) instead of PMD (post Mint Damage) PMM would emcompass countermarks, counterstamps, love tokens, etc... |
