So, I suppose it boils down to the official-ness of the modifications. The edges were definitely clipped down, but I couldn't find a plug either.
I collect German issues and purchase often on ma-shops. Because most of those sellers are based in Europe, I try to look for sellers with large...
I too have a countermarked German coin. Mine is from Lippe. It has two rose countermarks, both applied at different times. The uncountermarked...
Do you know the purpose of the countermark? Something related to Osnabruck?

Sweet. My earliest is the 1700s!
Don't forget Bremen. They use a key motif too!!! I'll post some of them when we get a hundred years later in this time line.
Lovely Albus from Worms. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think the answer is, that's what they like to collect. There are no rules in numismatics. If the post had 10 bids, were they ten different...

What comes to mind is the Australian holey dollar and dump. I don't think I've ever seen a graded one, but my bet is they are straight graded too...
Separate names with a comma.
