<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1396373, member: 22729"]They're counterstamps allout. Someone had a set of punches and decided to put a number on the coin for who knows what reason. It may have some meaning to him, but certainly not to us. The counterstamping of coins was very common in the 19th century particularly. Company names were applied to coins for advertising purposes, individuals personalized coins with their names, or political messages were struck on them. Your counterstamp would have no value other than as a curiousity. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
