But if they are actual countermarks, placed there by a govt. entity - the reason why is easy, they wanted to re-value the coin. And based on the marks you describe it could mean they valued it at 2 cents or 20 cents. The hard part is determining <u>who</u> made the countermarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it is also possible they were not placed on the coin by a govt. entity but rather by an individual who did so for his/her own personal reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
