chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 09:01 am Nice find! Now you just have to find someone with the initials JW. You could also cross post your find here: http://goccf.com/t/126486&whichpage=46 Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 09:34 am That took a heck of a whack to get that deep on a nickel. Cents are the most common for counterstamps, but they are less frequently seen on other denominations. Since is virtually impossible to trace two initials, your coin is interesting, but would command very little increased value. Perhaps a dollar or so. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 12:41 pm It's been counterstamp. It's a form of Post Strike Damage, but does carry a small value over face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 1:13 pm @moxking, I am wondering about your dollar or two assessment. Is that really the case? Without the wildcat stamp, the OP's coin is worth face value. I'm just trying to understand why these two letters add any value. Not trying to be argumentative--just tryin' to learn something. Thx!
