My Big question is what is it. Believe it or not I found this in a penny box in the first roll I opened! You can see before playing the video, some of the 5 you can see on the center of the obverse! There are pictures in the video of the coin. Thank You any comments would be great!

    That's called a counterstamp, or countermark. It happened outside of the mint. There's really no telling why someone chose to put it there. It's not really worth anything in this case, but it's fun.



    I've got a counterstamped coin in my collection, as it happens.

    Searching is a passion. Looks like you've got the bug. (It's called the "Geek Virus" in certain circles) You're in good company, anyway. image

    Yes, in this case photos would be so much better.

    In my opinion videos are a nice change than just seeing the regular photo. Thank you for the information about the penny!

    Jolteon, please go away or show some respect for the forum. Commenting on all your threads to bump them back to page 1 is not cool.

    And to add, you are putting us all at risk by providing links instead of actual photos.

    People don't want to open videos because they are justifiably afraid of letting viruses loose onto their computers.

    That is why people here want to see still pictures and not videos. It's real simple to understand.

    I was just beginning to enjoy your enthusiasm, even if I'd rather watch documentaries about metal detecting, on You Tube…. but that's just me.

    Invoke the 'grasshopper rule'

    New members must have 50+ substantial posts to sell on BST & are limited to 2-5 posts per day until a mod can make up his/her mind.

    I admit, his threads are amusing, in a short bus kind of way.
