I don't think the E and L counterstamped Bust Quarters looked like this...

It's a crying shame to whomever doctored this coin toning/color wise.

Edited to add: I understand that the counterstamp is legit.

I think the seller is a member of the forum. I believe that the L is correct, but haven't looked at it in depth.

Yeah, the coloring does nothing for me. It's a shame

You're right- I don't think the counterstamp looks quite like the better-known ones. But it does look old, so who knows? Not me.

I kind of like it. The coin, that is. Not necessarily the counterstamp.

Sure, it almost certainly wouldn't grade, but I kind of like the toning, even if it is secondary toning, as is almost certainly the case.

Have they ever figure out where the original 'E' and 'L' stamps came from?

That seller has nothing but overgraded, deceptive coins for sale...
