mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 07:28 am There are those who like to collect counterstamped coins. The counterstamp is often the name of a business. If the counterstamp can be associated with the history of a business or person they can be worth a premium. If not, the counterstamped coin is often considered a damaged coin.
