Thanks, D. The photo is not showing up on my screen, but it's good to know it is visible on your screen. The counterstamped quarters are only known on some quarters of 1815 and 1825. There have been some prior discussions of these on the board (search on counterstamped for more information than I can provide). Heritage has an MS-66 coming up for auction in the FUN sale (lot 905). Anaconda had a neat posting on them back on August 5 2006, with good input provided by RichieURich within that post. Dan

Also if you go back to last fall's (I think) John Reich Journal, I believe there is a recap of the discussion that occured at the San Fran JRCS Meeting about the E and L quarters.
Great coin and great photo! There is a lot of information on these quarters, if you search the old threads. We still aren't sure what the counterstamps mean, they are only "L" and "E" and only on 1815 and 1825/3 quarters, and mostly in high grades of AU and Unc. There are about 14 theories so far. Hopefully eventually we will find one with some accompanying document that serves as the "Rosetta stone" by explaining everything!
Thanks for posting such a great coin, Lakeshore!

Awww shucks, Cameonut. For once an honest mistake here provided a real numismatic treat. Glad you pointed out the facts, but let's not spoil the moment
