spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 03:09 am Interesting. The backstories to these old counterstamps can be intriguing, but are notoriously difficult to pin down!

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 09:09 am It looks to me like the fourth letter would be an A, so something like the Pennsylvania Home Decorating Association (totally just made that up) might be the thing. Lots of acronyms that end with an A are associations, but could be anything. Also thinking it must have been just one giant stamp, as if it were individual letters why would you just tag that tiny bit of the last letter in there? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/19/2020 12:41 pm I like this one! So, does this mean that in 1852 you could get a PHD for a clipped cent? Edit: Could the weakness at the date be due to a second smaller clip or is related to the Blakesley effect? Edit edit: Or just PSD from the counter stamp?
