<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 1646482, member: 1101&quot;]Yes, I too love modern counterstamps.&nbsp; I do understand that they don&#039;t generally get the respect of the older ones, but back when the older ones were new, they did not get any respect, either!&nbsp; For a very long time I believe that counterstamped coins were considered culls along with poor condition and damaged pieces.&nbsp; Anyone who ignored the conventional wisdom and collected them was indeed building a collection that has real value today. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have given some thought to it and I am pretty sure that except for key or semi-key date coins, any coin with a recognized or interesting counterstamp is worth more (sometimes significantly more) than a similar circulated coin without the &quot;post-mint damage&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
