    I have seen coins like this with many countermarks or chop marks. Why was it necessary to countermark more than once or twice? Wouldn't the genuineness have been established after the first or second?

    Are those chopmarks really? I always thought chopmarks were done on the edge because it was easier.

    I don't recall ever seeing one on the edge. Usually 1 or 2 suffice, but I guess this one went through the hands of a lot of distrustful folks!image

    "Chops" on the edges of coins are called "shroff marks" and were usually so stamped in India.
