<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3068591, member: 22729&quot;]You&#039;re probably right, Paddy. I forget how many individual stamps are on the coin, but I don&#039;t think it was an attempt to deface the King. Just a few inspectors getting together and trying out their stamps. A souvenir, perhaps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since these are official government marks applied by British inspectors, it&#039;s unlikely their application was intended to deface...but who knows, Bill. At the time, I believe it was illegal to stamp slogans...particularly political slogans...on coins in the UK, so if that were the case, their stamps would identify them. They mind as well put their name on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
