<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 831323, member: 19065"]Guy~ I know (and knew well) that you knew what I was trying to say, but in so doing you were, until now, skewing the idea the OP was getting about the coin in the OP without fully disclosing such differences... you've been overly rigid in <i>stretching</i> (pun intended) the OP's counter-stamped coin to include such counter-stamped classic coins like this one, whose populations are miniscule compared to those 1976 coins in question in the OP. Certainly, classic coins have been hallmarked as well and there have been large cents turned into <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t94278/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t94278/"><i>pie cutters</i></a> which have taken on <i>numismatic cultural</i> values all their own. Also note, that I have nothing against counter-stamped coinage. I collect them myself when I come across them. I only hoped to point out that there <i>are</i> differences, sometimes subtle, but of course each has their own value(s),realm of collecting nomenclature and admirers. BTW, that coin's a beauty, would it happen to be one of yours?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
