<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve Bostwick, post: 4460620, member: 110489&quot;]Curiosity is good. Somebody has used a lettered punch to impress that word on the back. In the 1800&#039;s to the early 1900&#039;s business owners &#039;counterstamped&#039; their name or business on it to make it a spendable advertising token. In the 1920&#039;s speakeasy owners would counterstamp a coin to be used as a pass. It was not too popular in the later 20th or in the 21st century. Your coin may have been counterstamped by a club or organization to use as a proof of membership. If you can make out the word(s) you might try to find out more. Even nearly perfect modern coins wouldn&#039;t be worth much and any marks would make it worth less. Yours is worth a nickel if the bank will take it. But, if you do some research and put it in a time capsule it might be worth something for somebody far in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
