<p>[QUOTE="kazuma78, post: 2129833, member: 17304"]I am starting to get interested in countermarked coins and was wondering if there is a book about them to be had anywhere. Everyone says buy the book before the coin and in this instance I really want to do that. As I understand it, a counterstamp is an unofficial stamp on a coin like from a merchant or for advertising. On the other hand a countermark is a stamp on a coin made officially to re-value the coin to another countries currency or to sort of create a new value on an old coin. I am really primarily interested in the latter (countermark), if my statement is correct. Any suggestions on books? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
