David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 02:04 am Hi all, Saw this on ebay. Not a counterstamp. Looks like a hole has been drilled and a mini-penny inserted. Suspect mini-penny may be 3D printed? Any thoughts? Never seen this before. Ta Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 05:05 am Thanks. Yup, given the mini-penny is 1977 I guess that ties it up. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 6:27 pm Smaller? Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 11:50 pm Yes, smaller. If the hole is bigger the small one falls right through. A hair smaller and it wedges in securely. Report this Post to the Staff
