<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 893355, member: 2100&quot;]The vast majority of genuine counterstamps were made by merchants (usually with custom made one piece stamps, &amp; were used for advertising) as well as a considerable number by individuals. I can&#039;t say for absolute certain, but I believe I have seen merchant counterstamped pieces also in slabs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you GDJMSP, the TPGs do not seem to know the history concerning the RF stamp, along with many other bits of information relating to all sorts of exonumia. Some of the tpg errors are repeated over and over again, simply because of their lack of expertise in a given area. I had not thought about it before (I try not to think about tpgs at all), but I guess those RF counterstamps residing in slabs could be considered another instance of &quot;fakes&quot; being slabbed as genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
