This is a good turnout!

Yes, jbuck, it's excellent! I thought that a simple challenge would bring people out, and it seems to have worked!

Ok, I haven't been on here for a while...

Post a counterstamp with a twist: the fewer letters or numbers gets a higher score

If it is another type of counterstamp one gets (3 points)

I found this 1972 nickel just yesterday coin roll hunting, and as I collect all counterstamps, I thought this was a neat find.

Scoring:
One Letter/Number counterstamp: 10 points,
Two-five L/N Ctsp: 8 points,
Six-ten L/N Ctsp: 6 points,
Eleven+ L/N Ctsp: 4 points...

Bonus scoring:
The closer to the letter A in the first letter or 1 in numbers one scores higher...
A-J, 1-4: 5 points,
K-R, 5-8: 3 points,
S-Z, 9-10: 1 point

I can help determine scoring since there may be strange counterstamps out there...

Nice one, mrwhatisit!
Two letters: 8 + A-J :5 = 13.

All I can offer are these 2...
Probably not counterstamped as such.
