theclash New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/19/2015 12:39 am I have a counterstamped copper piece the size of a large cent. It has a G N couterstamped over some type of emblem? on a blank planchet. If anyone can Help I would be very grateful. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

The worn halfpenny could have been counterstamped by someone as a token in its later life.

The letter style or font gives me that impression. The tiny pictorial mark may be a lamp (?), and it's style could lead to attribution if someone recognizes it. (The "lamp" reminds me of the ANA logo) The letters appear to me to have been individually applied and not part of a logo. Report this Post to the Staff
