numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 02/07/2012 6:08 pm I found an internet site on merchant counterstamps and it is listed though no forther info (http://www.exonumia.com/art/cma.htm). Apparently there is a book on these (Merchant and Privately Countermarked Coins ) but it costs $100. Hoping someone may have a copy to provide info. Report this Post to the Staff
