This counterstamp is on a 1972 Type 2 Ike.
Please reply if you can identify the counterstamp, or if you have any information that can help me research it.
Thank you.

    There's hundreds of different counterstamps.

    A "W" and a larger "O". Separate punches.

    Yeah, I figure this one will be hard to source (and maybe impossible), as compared to a Mel Wacks counter-stamped Ike, which are well documented (of which I have a couple). Just keeping my fingers crossed that it might be recognized by someone here.

    I was thinking it was an O and an upside down M for Omega Man.

    He has gotten quite a bit more conspicuous as of late ;)

    I have some punches. I can make some up for you. :*

    There are many unique counterstamps that show up on coins. This one looks subtle... perhaps a personal mark for a collector. Cheers, RickO
