<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2399433, member: 22729&quot;]I searched high and low for this image, Diplodocus, but couldn&#039;t find it. The stamp is likely English because of the host coin. It&#039;s definitely not American, as U.S. counterstamps almost never appear on English coins...especially from this era.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a whim though, I looked up the definition of the word &quot;Don&quot;. Interestingly, the word is used as a title, mostly by the British. A &quot;Don&quot; would be a college or university professor, tutor, or fellow. It seems to be confined to either Oxford or Cambridge Universities, for whatever reason. The figure on your coin seems to have on academic robes of some sort, so maybe it&#039;s origin lies here somewhere. Just a theory, but maybe worth pursuing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are their any other markings on the coin that aren&#039;t visible in the pictures? Stray letters, symbols, numbers, or anything else that might give us a clue as to it&#039;s issuer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
