xodus Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/03/2014 8:59 pm Yep, sure do :) Here is the reverse for the coin pictured on the right. I see what appears to be a counterstamp, huh, never noticed that before. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 03/03/2014 9:03 pm After some very careful cleaning, you might get a clue as to what the reverse is supposed to be. Take your time with it - I know it is very hard :) Report this Post to the Staff

xodus Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/03/2014 10:26 pm Thanks Pish and Ech. Welp, I guess I have to learn how to clean these tough ones eventually so I might as well get started reading up more on it :) I know the basics, but when the surface is rock hard, it makes it more difficult. I appreciate your assistance and advice Report this Post to the Staff
