<p>[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8223527, member: 110226"]That's a possibility that I will look into. I see what you're saying. When the coin is rotated the countermark does look like a retro beth. The die sinker or engraver of the counterstamp might made an error. The character was engraved into the countermark die in the "correct" orientation, and not in the reverse orientation that would be needed for the character to be in the proper orientation after the strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
