<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 200455, member: 2100&quot;]I would agree that a date counterstamp would not have much of a premium over face, but there is always a chance someone may desire that cent. I know there are folks who collect counterstamps by year, so that may appeal to someone like that. It appears that a special stamp was produced, as the stamped date looks like it was done using one punch. That is more desirable than individual digits stamped into a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In days past, many tokens were made to appear golden, and the term for that is &quot;gilt&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that someone stamped a number of these (since a special punch was made). Since Roy did not find much of widespread importance relating to that date, my guess would be perhaps it was someone&#039;s birthday, or perhaps day of their wedding, although the last day of the year seems like an odd day for that to occur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
