<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1895016, member: 22729&quot;]I can&#039;t help you with the coin itself gradofan but the &quot;R&quot; is part of a counterstamp that is mostly off the coin. These old stamps were often made with raised letters in a saw-tooth or denticled depression which yours is. The denticles showing above the &quot;R&quot; and partially in front of it are part of the saw-tooth depression. The period showing mid-way up the back of the letter indicates that there is another initial or name that isn&#039;t showing because of a poor strike. The reverse marks were probably made with some type of tool applied by the same person who struck the stamp. Unfortunately, since the stamp is so poorly struck and can&#039;t be identified it detracts from the value of the coin. Good luck with the variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
