jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/25/2025 5:13 pm I found this beauty in a collector's odds and ends drawer and thought to myself why would someone do that to this coin. The AD counterstamp, I mean. Then after a while I was appreciating the stamp, too. It is tastefully done in my opinion. Twice! On the reverse, look for it down near the date. Is anyone familiar with AD? Thoughts? Comments? Questions? All feedback/wisdom is, as usual, much appreciated. (P.S., not sure what happened here but that blur at the top of the photo of the obverse is the photo not the coin). Edited by jdsstrat 03/25/2025 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure that you'll be able to attribute this counterstamp, but hopefully you will have success.
