<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1679825, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t collect US but found what I considered an interesting coin a few years ago that was priced as damaged.&nbsp; I posted it here and was told it was just that, damaged.&nbsp; That brings up the question of how to collect something that is so easily faked as a counterstamp.&nbsp; Certainly you can avoid coins that have wrong signs like alignment or font style like mine but even then you are risking condemning a really interesting piece because it does not fit your idea of what is proper.&nbsp; As long as all you buy are priced as damaged, perhaps it is OK but sooner or later you will start wanting things that are &#039;improved&#039; by the stamp and that is where I have to hesitate.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t155048/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t155048/">http://www.cointalk.com/t155048/</a></p><p>[ATTACH]251424.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
