"E" Counterstamped 1815 Bust Quarter

For those of you who are regular listeners to The Coin Show podcast you may find this familiar from the last episode. In episode 87 I discussed coins from the Economite hoard and how some scholars believe that these E & L counterstamped bust quarters originated from the harmonites who assembled the hoard. This coin was stamped with an E just above the bust... it appears someone later tried to repair it... but it is still clearly there.

Matt, do you have a photo of one that hasn't been repaired?

Here is a "L" counterstamp I purchased recently as well.

No wonder I couldn't find it! You said it was above the bust when it is actually above the cap. It seems, Matt, you have something else on your mind.

Ya caught me...

 

Another really cool piece Matt, but looks like an L. Am I seeing things?
