chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 07:27 am Counterstamps have always fascinated me, but it's so frustrating when (as with the majority) you can't attribute them at all. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 09:36 am DEVLEC, You always have to look at it from the positive. If this coin had not been counter marked, it probably would have hit the melting pot long before now as did 95% of its cousins. Some coins only exist today because they were kept as a curiosity. Some coins are only known in an altered state. Report this Post to the Staff
