<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 24717029, member: 92655&quot;]Well no, not really. Counterstamps were often used as a means of advertising in the days before mass media advertising, but I doubt that was the purpose of a lone “X”…. One of my prized coins is a lovely 1795 dollar with an “X” emblazoned on the eagles chest and I have seen other period coins with a similar mark so I assume that the “X” was not an uncommon addition. I just don’t know why…. Perhaps [USER=22729]@BRandM[/USER] could offer some enlightenment. I believe that counterstamps fall squarely in his wheelhouse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
