Great links CollinG, gives me more motivation to get my collection scanned so I can post my collection online like that. What a great reference tool for people to use.

gxseries- thanks for the link. Very interesting counterstamps, but I must disagree with the grading of the 8. It really seems to me to be a VF rather than an EF.

For those interested there was a Chopmark Collectors Club [now inactive] which has published over 350 pages of information in their newsletter. The entire series of newsletters are available for $20 [+postage] from the founder, Everett R. Jones. Just Google 'Chopmark Collectors Club'and you should find it. Rose's book is only 54 pages so the newsletters are worth reading for the serious collector.

I have sent an email off to Mr. Jones, to see if the email is still valid and if the offer of the bound Newsletter is still valid.
After this much time, anything may have happened.

ElleKitty - The link to Mr. Jones is still valid. I've been in contact with him recently [having just ordered the set of newsletters myself]. $20 is a great bargain and who knows how long the information will be available for purchase.

gxseries - The coin you've linked is the only Japanese counterstamped foreign coin I'm aware ever circulated in Japan. It's quite rare. Chinese chopmarked foreign coins are, on the other hand, plentiful and quite cheap. There are many more varieties too - of both the coins and the different chopmarks.

Well I got back from the coin show in Hong Kong yesterday and I did manage to buy about 30 chopmarked coins. Most of the dealers only came with their best stuff but two local Hong Kong dealers brought in stuff they had the following day. I wll try and post some pictures. Most interesting were three lucky wedding chopped coins [Rose p. 6, fig. 15] which I had never seen for sale anywhere before. His prices where crazy [I passed] but I was tempted. My chopmarked collection has now passed 100 pieces and am looking for more.

Well, I was looking through my collection and I see an 1894 G.A.
It had the exact same chopmark, aswell as a swastika stamp.
So, does anyone have any idea where those chopmarks originate from? and how much does the value change with certain chop marks?
Thanks...
TheKid!
