<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2549576, member: 22729&quot;]Sorry to hear about the third coin going astray, Diplodocus. Fortunately, it&#039;s never happened to me, but it&#039;s always something you have to worry about.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Just out of curiosity, was that one a &quot;UVF&quot; stamp too or something different? As I&#039;ve been documented these political issues for six or seven years now, I&#039;ve come across over 130 unique slogans / acronyms counterstamped on Irish or English coins. The variety is astounding...far more than I thought I&#039;d ever encounter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an old one I recently bought. Over two hundred years ago, and still as bitter and divided as today. These older pieces are rare, but you see one once in awhile. This coin is actually engraved, and if you can&#039;t read it, it says &quot;Hang all the Irish Catholic Priests&quot;. Someone came along, probably before the engraving, and obliterated Britannia with a chisel or some other tool. This is a sad example of the extreme hatred felt between the two sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]547686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]547688[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
