    The reverse counterstamp I've seen many times here as a specially released counterstamped Peace Dollar for the peace summit which it is commemorating. All the examples I've seen before have normal obverses though. Looks like somebody put a Jefferson on the obverse and whacked it with a hammer. Too bad, the Jefferson counterstamp has really messed with the reverse counterstamp.

    Yes, but it's also possible that the reverse counterstamp I've seen many times here as a specially released counterstamped Peace Dollar for the peace summit which it is commemorating.

    Not at all....the the reverse counterstamp was done TWICE. ie double struck.

    ACK!

    They took a perfectly beautiful coin and whacked it. I'm heartsick. *smacking head repeatedly against the wall*
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    You can't read most of the lettering around the perimeter so what good is it?
