<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 1241602, member: 1101&quot;]I love counterstamps - especially political ones - and I have a few of these as well.&nbsp; I have found that collecting them is a bit treacherous, though, since some are presumably being faked today.&nbsp; I recall buying a pair of pennies, one showing the initials of an organizationon on one side of the &quot;troubles&quot;, and the oher showing the intials of an organiztion on the other side. They were done in similar style and in an identical type style. Very suspicious.....</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, there were no &quot;single punch&quot; slogans/dates used on these coins - the all seem to be from individual letter/number punches. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I understand that British pound coins stamped RIRA are out there in the UK now, and I would love to have one in my collection, but I would need to get one straight from circulation to make asure it is &quot;real&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
