[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2338595, member: 71234"]Jut assume someone tested a newly made stamp on a handy piece of metal. Then shoved the coin back in their pocket and later spent it, then it circulated for a few years to get well worn. Even in the days when you could buy a penny bun with two of them I cannot see anyone considering a halfpenny significant enough to feel the need to counterstamp it. Serious silver, yes, although usually much earlier and in places where doubtful money was plentiful. Not in Jamaica in the 40s or 50s and with a coin of such low value.[/QUOTE]
