coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 9:11 pm The only reference for the '3 could be he died in 11/22/1963? But looks like a soft counter punch on the fields. Edited by coop 07/05/2019 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rjeezy91 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 9:14 pm A clear, defined number 3 as a countermark? For what reason? Report this Post to the Staff
Rjeezy91 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 9:17 pm It was definitely punched on but not raised like on a die but for what reason? Possibly trying to make it seem like an error? Report this Post to the Staff
