ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 10/01/2018 11:30 am Here's a counterstamped 1857. Dr. George G. Wilkins was a dentist in Pittsfield, N.H. Note that the force of the blow split the planchet and made for an unusually strong counterstamp. It's been estimated that he stamped upwards of 100,000 coins in his lifetime. Dave Bowers wrote a fascinating book about him. Edited by ExoGuy 10/01/2018 11:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
