<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 4757101, member: 88212&quot;]Many collectors avoid all counter stamps on modern coins with initials due to the difficulty of attributing them. Even non counter stamp collectors snatch up medieval or ancient coins with single counter stamps. There is even a book about ancient counter stamped coins. In general attributed counter stamps may have a value depending on their rarity and the popularity of their type with military - prostitute - saloons being the crowd favorites.</p><p>Mavericks with little chance of attribution bear the smallest value while potentially attributable pieces fetch a medium value. I buy every one that I find for a dollar or less and try to attribute them. I only buy expensive ones when they are from the state that I collect. good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
