Just as a wild chance has anyone seen this counterstamp before? It's nice, deep and clear.

Cheers Bill

I'm not sure what you mean by fake but from the pictures it does look like it could have been added in photo shop or something. Here are a couple of pictures taken at a much different angle, the recess is very deep for a counterstamp but In hand everything looks as would be expected.

Cheers, Bill

I think that they are hand-punched individual letters and someone went to work on the coin. I've heard that some mines and other heavy industrial localities counterstamped coins, sometimes just with #'s, to be worn as ID tags for people entering hazardous/dangerous areas so that they could account for everyone.
