MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 5:39 pm Just ran across this one. Caught my eye. First thought it was a tool mark, but then looked closer and it looks different than tool marks that I have seen. Probably just PMD , but thought I would share and ask. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 6:43 pm I don't think that it is struck through because of the matching damage on the obv. Rather this looks like a counterstamp, which would have been done after the coin left the mint.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 9:50 pm Yes indeed, looks like a counterstamp gone wrong to me as well. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 9:54 pm The coin was damaged after the strike. It took a hit with something on the reverse and the flattening is seen on the obverse. Spendable. Edited by coop 09/19/2020 9:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 10:02 pm Thanks everyone! Sounds like I possibly found a counterstamper's error! &. Been trying to figure out the letter or symbol, but no luck so far. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 09:37 am Yeah, not an error, just deliberate damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 09:41 am My poor attempt at humor. I realize it is damage. Just my luck that when looking for legitimate errors, I would find someone's deliberate attempt at a counter stamp that apparently went wrong on them. Report this Post to the Staff
