Counterstamped 1929 Cent, Any Ideas?

Came across this guy this morning. I've seen a lot of counterstamped cents... but never this one.

Anyone know what it is?

I have neevr seen one either. Really, really cool though.

 

Very nice stamp, wonder what the SSS means.

 

Selective Service System?

 

it is an old symbol of a group.

 

This one might be a one-off Matt. I can't find anything

 

I doubt you will find anything. I would like to own this coin though.

 

Very, very cool!! I love that the date is mostly intact.

 

It reminds me of some of the Mexican revolution counterstamps. But they usually had the SUD abbreviation, not an SSS, plus the revolution was over and the Christeros war was happening then

 

Yes, very Mexican looking. I thought the same.

 

Haven't seen that one before either Matt.

Super Secret Service?

Silly Stupid Stamp?

Or:
They mismade the stamp and meant SOS they were stranded on a desert island, counterstamped the coin and attached it to a board of wood in a rescue attempt?

 

It does somewhat resemble one of those old Mexican reales as someone mentioned earlier. But history is filled with too many acronym's that are "SSS".
