<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2079823, member: 71234&quot;]Apart from the counter stamped Spanish pillar dollars with George III head,I&#039;d say the only&nbsp; stamp marks you&#039;ll find on British coins are just random punch tests. There was no practice of stamping coins as a commonplace thing, unlike Chinese &#039;chop&#039; marks. </p><p>Dud coins might get nailed to the shop counter as a warning, but in general the coinage was trusted to be what it was supposed to be, and a couple of hundred years without any debased coinage was the reason for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
