<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1824673, member: 57463&quot;]I searched back through the topics for &quot;Counterstamp&quot; and read the most recent threads through.&nbsp; Basically, coins were counterstamped for many reasons, perhaps the least common motive being to guarantee them - though the Bank of England did counterstamp Spanish silver dollars in large numbers.&nbsp; Most of these remain anonymous today. However, Q. David Bowers has published on some that are known, such as his book <i>The Waterford Water Cure</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are my counterstamps:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]300057[/ATTACH]</p><p>Essequebo &amp; Demerray.&nbsp; 1813</p><p>Guyana (ceded 1814)&nbsp; KM 5.&nbsp; </p><p>Stiver (token) 1813.
