Yeah. I agree on the infinity sign. It does look like a sideways 8.

Very interesting stamped cent. I Googled the text NOVA CAESAREA from the coin and discovered that it was also a part of New Jersey circa 1787. Here's the whole story:

Repousse Knights of Columbus stamp... very uncommon use of the round punch repousse style outside of Masonic stamped cents.

Wow. Really hard to get a picture of this. Combination of my lighting not being the best and the fact that the stamp is 3D. Here's a picture I took through my loupe with my phone.

Nice niche area for collecting. I'm curious though, where do the stamps come from and what was the point of manufacture? Were they manufactured primarily for making counterstamps on coins? In Oz I have only encountered numbers punched into $1 coins which were apparently used for testing repaired vending machines and arcade games so the technician could distinguish the test coins from those already in the money box. These penny counterstamps are a whole new ball game (to me anyway!). Thanks for the posts.
