This is where having some reading material comes into play. There are specialized books and other reference material available on counterstamp issues it just depends on what you are looking for, from what time period and from where. I collect attributable world countermarks and really enjoy researching them and the history around why they were issued. I would be more than happy to discuss these interesting issues with you further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
