So I landed this somewhat mess of a coin that I'm identifying as a 24-P, but on a close examination it looks like there could be another coin underneath it. Could be my imagination and the amount of corrosion but it seems there are possibly letters from another coin at top of obverse and a design of some kind from another coin around the shield on the reverse. Someone tell me there's a Nova Constellatio under this NJ lol.

Its overstruck. On what? Need to decipher by hand. C4 Convention. Ship it to an expert. O/S on M.24-P may be unique? John Lorenzo, Numismatist, USA.

An interesting piece @bdlc. I'm hoping to see you update this thread when you get a more definitive opinion on what was overstruck to create this.

Thanks, I will do that. There's a couple people here that might know but haven't been around for a week or so. Hoping they might have some insight.

A "Counter Stamp" I'm guessing is what you mean by c/s. I don't really see that, interesting.
