<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1829500, member: 75105&quot;]I bought this counter stamped Manitoba dollar for $1 at the coin club last night. Thought it was kinda cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought maybe GAN was just some random person&#039;s initials, and it was their date of birth and death, well I was half right.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to collector&#039;s universe thread I found on google:</p><p><i>Above: Canadian nickel dollar, 1970 ( Manitoba Commemorative) counterstamped &quot;G.A.N. / 1918-70&quot; in oval on obverse. Commemorates the death of Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1970. 1000 such overstruck coins were released in the Toronto area by the Arab League of Canada</i></p><p>So it&#039;s kind of neat to own this, since there is only 1,000 of them floating around. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I find odd, is that the &quot;70&quot; is much larger than the 1918, it&#039;s almost like they made it before he died, and added the date when he died.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]301780[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]301781[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
