<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1089210, member: 19065&quot;]The thing looks nothing like a counter stamp to me. The mason cent deforms the reverse in a concave manner, and causes the obverse to convex along with the design in the stamp. This looks as if a <a href="http://www.ehow.com/video_4756909_use-rivet-gun.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ehow.com/video_4756909_use-rivet-gun.html" rel="nofollow">pop rivet gun </a>was tested on the coin with the rivet head snapping off. The coin may even have been held by hand with a toothed pliers or wrench in one hand gripping the coin by the 12 o&#039;clock position (based on those gouged marks) and squeezing the rivet gun with the other hand. It&#039;s a shame they used this coin, the obverse looks slightly off center, has a thick area of rim showing on the bottom 6 o&#039;clock position of the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
