Ok, I haven't been on here for a while... Post a counterstamp with a twist: the fewer letters or numbers gets a higher score  If it is another type of counterstamp one gets (3 points)  I found this 1972 nickel just yesterday coin roll hunting, and as I collect all counterstamps, I thought this was a neat find. Scoring: One Letter/Number counterstamp: 10 points, Two-five L/N Ctsp: 8 points, Six-ten L/N Ctsp: 6 points, Eleven+ L/N Ctsp: 4 points... Bonus scoring: The closer to the letter A in the first letter or 1 in numbers one scores higher... A-J, 1-4: 5 points, K-R, 5-8: 3 points, S-Z, 9-10: 1 point I can help determine scoring since there may be strange counterstamps out there...

All I can offer are these 2... Probably not counterstamped as such.
