Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 7:27 pm @king, there are some folks who collect coins with countermarks and so it adds value to them. For folks who don't though, this is just interesting looking damage. For me, finding a coin with a countermark is 2x2-worthy, but I don't go out of my way to purchase them.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 7:28 pm It's called a "Counterstamp" some people collect them, but to others it's just post mint damage ( PMD). Do a CCF search on them (box in the upper left of every page here on CCF). Report this Post to the Staff

Me, I like them but have not gone out of my way to buy them. When I do find one I will keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
