catman Rest in Peace United States 954 Posts	Posted 05/09/2005 11:02 am Hi Gang, I want to thank everyone who gave me suggestions on what I should do with the cull Indian Head cents that I have been receiving. As promised here's what I plan to do. I am going to counterstamp each with my initial's (SK) on the reverse side. Then I will give them to whoever wants one. This is something I currently do to silver pieces before sending them to the smelter. Your opinions are welcome on this solution. catman Report this Post to the Staff

Mike Rest in Peace United States 2884 Posts	Posted 05/09/2005 2:34 pm Is this to keep them from ever being sold for more than a penny? Why would someone want a defaced coin? Mike Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 05/09/2005 5:22 pm Why don't you counterstamp them and then spend them? It will be interesting to see one of them turn up on ebay with a description of how rare the "SK" counterstamp is Report this Post to the Staff

national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 05/10/2005 07:59 am While I understand your logic, I would not recommend counterstamping the coins. A worn coin is much better than a damaged coin. Use the coins to inspire kids. Do not worry about what the sleazy people do with a few coins found in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
