Post your counterstamped coins!
If you know anything about the merchant, please include it in your post.
Here's mine:

Run over by President McKinley's Funeral Train on Sept. 14, 1901.
Would really love some information on this counterstamp. The host coin is a gold Zecchino from Venice, minted under Doge Francisco Erizzo (1631-1646). Venice was a major international trading center at the time and the counterstamp looks to me kind of like a middle eastern chop mark.

Other than a chopmarked Trade Dollar, I have no counterstamped coins. Just never really interested me... Though I can certainly see the reasons people do collect them. For now, I will stick with chops. Cheers, RickO
1971 Ike dollar counterstamped "WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE USA"
I made about 30 of these for the 2019 World Jamboree in West Virginia. This is the only one I kept, the rest were traded/given away to scouts from other countries. There were also many other coins (Quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies) that were counterstamped "WSJ 2019".

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
