As a follow up, the small counterstamps were rather widely counterfeited sometimes on counterfeit coins. The larger counterstamps were used to...
The counterstamp is for King Charles III of England. There was a shortage of coins in circulation in England in the late 1790s, and the mint at...
Since you asked, I’ll say something. The photos make the coin look grainy, which is probably not the case. For that reason I did not chime in. I...
The Massachusetts cents were very well made and not nearly as crude as some of the other state coins that were made during the confederation...
US grading, AU-55.

"You have insufficient privileges to reply here." "To get more privileges you need to reply more." It sounds like the guy who died ringing the...
