Thought this one was really different. Those thin lines all along the bottom are metallic. Only assume they are from the stamp that produced the image.

Must be so. Does this seem contemporary with the date? Any clue as to what it means?

Very nice counterstamp, but unique?

That's very true. It's just that this particular stamp was unique in relation to all the other ones in my collection.

Funny you should say that moxking. I just went through all of them yesterday and sorted them chronologically. I had the same idea.

I believe this particular stamp is date accurate. I`m working on an 'article' explaining the why, when and reasons behind their counterstamping of coins.

Stay tuned.
