<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1039364, member: 22729"]Eden, welcome to the forum. Like the other guys say, they're counterstamps or countermarks. These seem to be random with no real reason other than someone had too much time on their hands and owned a cheap punch set. Sears used to sell them, so they were easy to come by. Unless it can be attributed to someone or some important event, this particular counterstamp has no premium. Some of the old counterstamps, even unattributed, can be valuable for a number of reasons. Although the coin is heavily worn, the stamp isn't, which indicates a relatively recent punching. I would guess it's probably 60 or 70 years old.</p><p> </p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
