<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1126997, member: 22729&quot;]Counterstamps are a bit more understood by dealers today than they were even 10 years ago Calum. Some, even most dealers still consider them damaged, but also understand that they have some value (great value in some instances). Years ago a collector could buy them from dealer&#039;s junk boxes for face value or at a small premium. I&#039;ve noticed increasing prices realized for counterstamps at auction, particularly in the past five years or so. Some sell for thousands of dollars,especially those that can be connected to a historic event or famous person. Even if you&#039;re no fan of them though, there&#039;s no denying the history surrounding them. To me It&#039;s a fascinating field of numismatics.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
