<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Lemons, post: 8578488, member: 82388&quot;]From the county of Lippe, two counterstamps on one coin!&nbsp; Just arrived today.&nbsp; Two countermarks from 1671 (at the edge) and 1685 (in center).&nbsp; Both counterstamps are considered official marks and are assigned km numbers.&nbsp; KM# 65, no stamp. KM# 75, one rose stamp on edge. KM# 102, two rose stamps.&nbsp; The denomination is 6 pfennig which is obliterated by the 1685 stamp.&nbsp; My assumption is these stamps were political, placed by new ruling heirs to the Lippe territory to put their seal of approval on the coinage as the value remained constant. Also saved on not having to strike entirely new issues.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1511855[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1511856[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
