I know some people on the forum collect counterstamps, so this one's for you.

It looks genuine. The counterstamp has a nice primitive look.

These early Bust coins when counterstamped tend to have above-average appeal in general. Yet, those with simple initials, ones that offer virtually no chance of being attributed to some merchant or craftsman, have little appeal to me. Personally, I prefer those to which some history may be attached; counterstamps that talk and tell us something of their travels.

Always happy to see a new counterstamp thread though!
