<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1401423, member: 75105&quot;]Bought this from a friend of mine who buys/sells coins, gold, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like old copper from other countries as it can be had cheaper than most coins from the US at a relative age. </p><p><br /></p><p>1st purchase was this 1806 British Penny. Got it for $10. </p><p><br /></p><p>After I got home, I noticed two interesting marks on the front and back. They look to be counter stamps to me,&nbsp; but wanted someone else&#039;s opinion. </p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_0223-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_0225.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_0223-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The other coin is a 1856 France Cinq Centimes. Does has some verdigris, but at $5 I thought it was a good purchase. I might soak it in olive oil for a week and see if that removes it. </p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_0234-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_0233-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
