ElTico New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 4:25 pm Going through some old family coins & I came across a 1906 dime from the Denver mint with either a "W" of a "M" stamped on the tail. Does this mark have nay meaning or value? Or is just someone defaced the coin long ago. thanks Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5285 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 8:06 pm Vintage counterstamped coins can have a huge premium, provided that the counterstamp can be tied to a specific person/ merchant. A simple W or M tell us nothing, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 8:18 pm Note how the obverse was ruined on this coin. They used to remove the reverses and add information on the coin. Usually initials and they called the love tokens: Report this Post to the Staff
