The countermark shows as round blobs on the reverse. It was very difficult to photograph this coin, as it looks as if it's heavily oxidized. That's odd, because I've not noticed any other nickel coins showing oxidation. The coin weighs the normal weight for these coins, 1.5g. Have you seen this type of nickel oxidation? Have you seen this countermark before? Report this Post to the Staff

Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 175 Posts	Posted 03/29/2024 12:40 pm I consider this a damaged coin. Probably has been in a fire in addition to being stamped with some tool or punch. Report this Post to the Staff
