meckl9 Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 10:06 pm I may be completely wrong but I was once told that a long time ago individuals used to put their initials in their coins. I have a few large cents which have initials stamped into the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 10:29 pm Counterstamps are a post-mint alteration and without a point of reference, can mean almost anything. NDK is probably someone's initials but the only one that truly knows is the creator. Report this Post to the Staff

It's the equivalent of scratching your initials into a coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/07/2009 5:17 pm Actually Gregory Brunk published several books on counterstamped coins right before he auctioned off his collection. American and Canadian Counterstamped Coins by Gregory G. Brunk World Countermarks on Medieval and Modern Coins: An Anthology (Gleanings from the Numismatist, V. 8) by Gregory Brunk A bibliography of numismatic literature on countermarked coins by Gregory G Brunk and has a newer book out called, Merchant and Privately Countermarked Coins, Advertising on the World's Smallest Billboards (2004) by Gregory Brunk which is published by Rich Hartzog. Dr. Brunk is still cataloging counterstamps for future reference works and is considered the leading authority on the subject today. ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff
