<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SPP Ottawa, post: 1975600, member: 39508&quot;]Here is mine, a 1970 Canadian nickel dollar, with the GAN 1918-1970 stamped on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>When Gamal Abdel Nasser, then the highly popular President of Egypt, died of a heart attack in 1970, the Arab community in Vancouver, Canada, counterstamped approximately 1000 of the 1970 Manitoba nickel dollars, on the obverse side, just right of the Queen between her shoulder and chin. Nickel coins are quite hard, and the quality of the counterstamp varies considerably in each coin I have seen. I have a couple with double counterstamps and one is graded by a Canadian company at MS-64.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]351258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
