hans New Member Belgium 38 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 08:57 am Hi, Here I have a bronze coin with a countermark in it. 27 mm diameter and it weighs about 7.3 gr. The only symbols/letters that I can read are on the reverse side : a large SC with a countermark . But I think the countermark is AVG ? I also think it is a dupondius with a bare head right. I know it is a poor quality coin but for me counts the history about it. Thanks for your advice. Greetings from Belgium Hans Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 09:14 am Cant quite make out the counterstamp, but the first letter looks like an A. Theres pages on counterstamps otu there which show which coins host which stamps, might be worth a look. Also, its nice to have someone else on the forum who is a fan of these chewed up low grade coins. I have quite a few which would be sitting unloved in a dusty box somewhere awaiting melting if I didnt have them. The cull piles often contain some really nice and rare stuff.
