<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brokecoinguy, post: 3001801, member: 85775&quot;]After reading this I&#039;ll definitely have to dig in to your previous posts.&nbsp; My love for history is what got me in to coin collecting, and my profession, so I really appreciate you giving some insight as to how and why you collect.&nbsp; As much as I love pristine examples of any particular coin there is just something to be said about a well worn, circulated, and in this case counter-stamped piece.&nbsp; It provides physical evidence that the coin served its intended purpose and then some.&nbsp; The counter-stamps just take it one step further by giving you these little clues as to who may have held these coins and where they ended up.&nbsp; Reminds me somewhat of hard times tokens, acting as &quot;little billboards.&quot;&nbsp; Although I&#039;m sure attributing a counter-stamp is much harder.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you for sharing!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Still a better cellphone photo than most can achieve!&nbsp; Great example, thanks for playing along![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
