[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 108642, member: 4350"]Hi, Of course it is very difficult to determine what it is without having the coin in hand. I suggest that it might be some kind of counterstamp done after the coin was struck. The coin is misshapened a little bit and indicates that it was indeed struck by something. I have seen seals that would be used to wax seal an envelope like this with a scalloped edge. This is pure guesswork but whatever it was likely happened after it left the mint. The coin is worn but there appears to have been something that would correspond to where the "center" of the possible counterstamp is that looks like lettering. It's tough to say just what this is but a counterstamp of some sort that has worn to a point where you can't see all the detail comes to mind. Have Fun, Bill[/QUOTE]
