No biggie. A newb that found a proof quarter in circulation. Probably opened multiple accounts or something...
That's weird. The new poster I was responding to was here last night but now gone without a trace. Oh well.
Sometimes a counterstamp is just some random knucklehead with a hammer and a punch in his garage having fun or passing time. I can't really tell...

Kinda cool. Probably cast then plated. Neat pickup.

I just tried it again using the @Silverpop link in your original post and by clicking his avatar in an unrelated post and both have the "start...
Finally! A counterfeit with markers even I can ID!
For future reference, if you click on his avatar, it brings up a small profile pop-up. Click "Start a Conversation" and you can send a PM, even if...
