robinw41984 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 4:53 pm I have been looking online to find out if this coin is worth anything. It is a 1837 (I believe) liberty head 1 cent piece but I noticed a small letter engraving close to the maiden's face. The letters appear to be W M N does this mean that the coin isn't real?

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 5:42 pm counterstamp A stamp or impression placed on a coin after it has left the Mint of origin. Counterstamps were frequently used as advertising gimmicks onÂ large centsÂ and other coins. The counterstamp leaves a permanent impression on the metal and may hurt the value of the coin. It may also help the value, as in the case of an Ephriam Brasher counterstamp. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
