<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2899379, member: 84179&quot;]There are books and research on counter stamped coins.&nbsp; If a counterstamp can be linked to a specific merchant or event, then it adds to the history of the coin, and in some cases actually makes it worth more.&nbsp; However, random letters/numbers, or the Lincoln cents with state outlines, or Kennedy&#039;s portrait are considered damage and will reduce the value.&nbsp; Unless you have something like an Indian Peace Medal or some other rare item that is usually found in this condition, a holed coin will always trade at a reduced price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
