Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 01/06/2009 02:50 am I finally bought one of these counterstamped semi-official coins a couple of months ago. I've noticed that mine, and all the others I can see pics of in Krause and on the Internet, appear to have the counterstamped lettering deliberately blackened. Does anyone know whether this is in fact the case? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
