 to the CCF, Tacna2025! Your coin has been counterstamped by someone with that letter S. This occurred after it left the mint and is considered post-mint damage ( PMD).People have been counterstamping coins virtually since there were coins! Many people collect them. Our esteemed moderator jbuck has an interesting counterstamped Eisenhower dollar as his avatar. There is "Post your Counterstamp" topic here - you should add yours there! http://goccf.com/t/126486Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Nice coin.

Welcome to the Forum. You've come to a phenomenal place to share and learn. Yes. A counter stamped LSC. If you visit the link in my signature line you'll see that there is a whole world of counter stamped IHCs, LMCs and LSCs. Thanks and again welcome. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

Nice counterstamp. Back in ancient times, counterstamps were used to legitimize currency such as if their was a change in emperors or to be accepted in another country. Over the course of time, the reasons for their use has changed and become widely varied.

Go to Amazon and search "metal stamp" Main use of these is craftwork and putting IDs on metal objects. Sometimes someone is board and will use it on a piece of scrap metal (coin) as a test Edited by J-Tal
