<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rayzir, post: 2112653, member: 74060&quot;]I have a quick, if not crude, question.&nbsp; I came across this 1876 Canadian 1 cent piece.&nbsp; I was really excited to find it.&nbsp; When I turned it over, my heart sank as someone decided to be clever with this coin.&nbsp; I held onto it, not knowing what to do with it.&nbsp; Then I came across this thread.&nbsp; I have a couple of questions:</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Would this be considered a exonumia?&nbsp; Would this be a counterstamp?&nbsp; Or is it along the lines of hobo nickels where someone altered the look into something else?&nbsp; What would that term be?</li> <li>The only reason I remembered this is <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-exonumia.203005/page-140#post-2110640" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-exonumia.203005/page-140#post-2110640">because of this post had similar type of punching</a>.&nbsp; Is altering the word &quot;cent&quot; a common form of coin vandalism?</li> </ol><p>Thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
