Loupe_DeVille New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 12:10 am Hi CCF! I'm brand new to collecting and am enjoying every minute of it. I came across this 1946 dime with a star counterstamp, as well as this odd cud-looking thing in the middle. I've seen a star counterstamp like this in pictures before, can anyone tell me more about the counterstamp, and I'd love an opinion on what that thing is in the middle. Thanks!

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 08:58 am Right, something was once attached in that area. Perhaps it was a cuff link or tie tack? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 09:34 am I agree with the others who said the raised area in the center was solder, I suspect it was once used as a cufflink. Sean Report this Post to the Staff
