That's a counterstamp. Was pressed on there by hand after circulation.

I agree with GrapeCollects, it is a counterstamp.

Whatever it is, it would only hurt the value in this case if it was otherwise uncirculated.

Probably not much more that its silver melt value, but there are counterstamp collectors who might give it a slight premium.

A little late to this thread, but just FYI that this coin is only 90% silver rather than being sterling (92.5%). The C/S may have been placed there to sell this coin at more than its actual melt value by an enterprising seller.

You could also post this here at the "Official Post a Counterstamp" thread: http://goccf.com/t/126486Someone there may also have some specific knowledge about it. Edited by chafemasterj

I suppose it could also be a chop mark (which is a type of counterstamp).

That's actually called a hallmark, a stamp of purity.
