Here is a counterstamped bust dime, quarter, half, and reeded edge half all in pretty worn condition. An interesting group of coins that all have one thing in common. They were apparently counterstamped by the same individual. It didn't appear to be in Brunk when I checked. Have you ever seen any other coins with a similar stamp? Post a picture if you have one, or post a picture of any counterstamped coin.
Thanks - 1TwoBits

That looks like a good research project! Bet ya got a few here going at it on google.
I saw one of these last week in the USMEX fundraiser auction! And I think I had another on a Portrait 8 Reales a number of years ago.

I also tried looking for A.A as a silversmith hallmark, but did not find anything.
Hi. My name is topstuf and I'm a .......
Interesting...... LOVE the bust half piece..
That's a great set.
The style of the punch is reminiscent of a metalsmith - copper, pewter, silver.
I have a similar set from the early 20th century - cent, dime, quarter, half dollar - with a small jewelers monogram mark. I am eagerly searching for the counterstamp on a nickel!
That is an interesting counterstamp....I would think it has a history somewhere....will see what I can find. Cheers, RickO
Just throwing this out there.

Thank you for the interesting comments. It's also good to know about the other coins with the same counterstamp.
