JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 6:56 pm The EP is a counterstamp that was added after the coin left the mint. It could possibly be someone's initials, hard to say. The Obverse looks like a stain. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15409 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 7:12 pm to the CCF Agreed - the EP is a post mint counter stamp. Adds no value as the coin is damaged. I'm going to ask the moderators to move your post to a more appropriate forum for better visibility. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25095 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 9:14 pm As JimmyD and nickelsearcher said, EV is a counterstamp on your coin. This is done by placing the coin on a hard surface and hammering a metal punch on the coin. As a result, the opposite side of the coin can get obliterated. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
