    I was given this coin. Why did someone stamp it and what does this stamp mean?

    I was given this coin can someone tell me what this stamp is why it was done to this coin?

    That's neat. In have no clue what the countertamp means but I wonder if it's the ANA

    The more you VAM..

    That's interesting. I'd bet the ANA (our ANA) had nothing to do with defacing any coin but it would be cool to learn more.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    Cool counterstamp!

    I have to admit I was a bit surprised to see this thread. I don't remember posting it- then again it was 9 years ago...

    The original link is dead... so not sure what that was about.... the counterstamped Morgan is interesting... I would not think our ANA would do that.... but perhaps years and years ago, they did it as a promotional piece...Cheers, RickO

    My guess is the seller had a satellite photo of the coin.

    Thanks I was kinda thinking that it was a promotional give away and maybe that's why he had no problem giving it to me free.

    There are collectors who seek out counter stamped coins... so if you are planning on selling it... try the BST here... Otherwise, it is a nice old Morgan and an interesting conversation piece. Cheers, RickO
