    Hello,
    I purchased a $100 bag of so called US junk silver quarters and I
    found that one of the quarters was stamped KKK across the front.
    Is that the KKK? I found references on the internet to a couple of other
    coins marked in a similar fashion. Does anyone have any information
    regarding these coins? Thanks for your help. Jim

    Welcome to the forum, Jim. Here is a link to a site that discusses genuine/fake exonumia. Scroll just a little way down for KKK items.

    Could you post a picture of the coin?

    Welcome. Jim.

    It is likely just graffiti.
    I can find no reference to those letters being used as a merchant's counterstamp.
