<p>[QUOTE=&quot;karrlot, post: 109911, member: 4476&quot;]I&#039;ve run out of world coins to be sorting through and cataloging, and I&#039;ve run out of state quarters to sort through, and I&#039;m drudging the bottom of the barrel.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been going through my box-o-crap - all the stuff that I thought was unidentifiable.&nbsp;&nbsp; I came across this very damaged coin that I thought had britannia on one side.&nbsp; Looking closely I could make out parts of the legend and I have narrowed it down to KM579.2 a Brittish half penny from George II (legend Georgivs) from 1746-1754.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I started looking at this, I relized that what I thought was damage looked like a big ol&#039; &#039;A&#039; on the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve played with the contrast a bit (but not much) to try to bring out the A.&nbsp; The area around the A is indented, so the A itself is at the same level as the rest of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a counterstamp, or just some wierd damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
