<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 794521, member: 66&quot;]I don&#039;t know much about the Bill of rights coin (It was marked by a private company just for a sales promotion where they sold them for an overpriced amount and tried to convince people that lower serial numbered coins would be more highly valued.&nbsp; Collectors just considered them to be damaged coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The&nbsp; Stone mountain coins were counterstamped and sold as a fund raising&nbsp; promotion with part of the money going to the Stone Mountain Memorial and part to the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Confederate Veterans Homes.&nbsp; They were not promoted as a &quot;collectible&quot; or as an investment item.&nbsp; They were more of a souvenir or a &quot;thank you&quot; for those who bought them at well over the going rate with the money going to the charity.&nbsp; Sales didn&#039;t do real well and they are rare today.&nbsp; The countermarked coins sell for high figures today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
