come to guess the junk coin, stay for the counter mark

i recently picked up a small lot of low grade coins that had a few neat things i was interested it. this was not one of them. however, i did have fun identifying this coin. what helped me was a recent thread here on the reverse type, or i wouldn't have figured it out probably.

make a guess as to the reverse type and who is on the obverse. i'll give you a hint, one of you had a nice version of this coin.



now for the counter mark: that's pretty interesting isn't it? anyone seen one like that?

sorry for the picture.

The coin has quite a bit of wear, but it has a very cool look about it (nice cozy eye-appeal)

... ummm, is it similar to one of my coins (or am I off of the hook?)

 

no, you posted a reply to the thread, but not with a coin.

you're off the hook stevex!

by the way, the coin is 9.6 g and about 21 mm.

 

It looks like my old pool-playing buddy.......Frank N. Stein

I don't know. But the portrait looks like an A Pius, maybe?

 

maybe @Bing...look familiar?



may not exactly be the same coin, but this one tipped me off.

 

Hey, that coin looks mighty familiar. Glad I could be of assistance. It does seem to have a similar reverse.
