Going through some old family coins & I came across a 1906 dime from the Denver mint with either a "W" of a "M" stamped on the tail. Does this mark have nay meaning or value? Or is just someone defaced the coin long ago.
thanks

I doubt it has any value. Just a counterstamp - who knows what it might signify.

Unless that initial matches someone in your family from years ago, it's just a stamped coin. People do collect those but, as far as I know, they are not high premium coins.

Vintage counterstamped coins can have a huge premium, provided that the counterstamp can be tied to a specific person/ merchant.

A simple W or M tell us nothing, unfortunately.

Note how the obverse was ruined on this coin. They used to remove the reverses and add information on the coin. Usually initials and they called the love tokens:

Thanks everybody for the help, I'm assuming its a "M" which does correspond to a family name.

There are known .. cointerstamped coin. Known .... meaning who stamped
or had it stamped.

This one, we may never know who or why it was stamped.
