It's essential to have it in the title. * Wondering if this "2" on obverse is an error or post circulation stamp. It resembles the mints #2. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a link to the CCF topic on counterstamped coins, which was started in 2012: https://goccf.com/t/126486 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Second, with regard to the shape of the number 2, it suggests to me that this counterstamp was more likely placed on this coin soon after minting (as opposed to more recently), but I agree that it wasn't put there by the US mint.
