<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3842424, member: 72790&quot;]I usually post on the Ancients threads as that is what I mostly collect. However I discovered a Shield Nickel way back in my older US coins that somehow I had put in a box as I had no idea what to do with it. A you can see it is a Shield Nickel dated 1869 but what makes it a bit unusual is what appears to be the Masonic counterstamp on the obverse. What I want to know is does something like this add to, detract from, or have no effect on its value. I have no use for it but I have no idea how its otherwise VG wear would determine what I would ask for it in cash or trade. Thanks for anything you can tell me about this kind of counterstamp. It seems to have circulated for some time from its wear.[ATTACH=full]1019641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1019645[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
