Don't know what I am doing, but I'm trying to post a coin photo. Sorry if it doesn't work; but the process is a little daunting for me.

Well Done!

What is with the 'E' @ 12:00?

Actually, I was trying to post the image within the message, not as a link. Is there a magic button I need to hit?
Thanks,
Dan

Image is showing up in the message, I see it right there n the body of your post.

What's up with the 'E' @ 12:00?

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.

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!

Very interesting dot of raised metal at the exact center of the obverse. IMHO a very noteworthy die marker!! Not seen on my 1825/3 "L" (NGC-61).

that photo could make me want to collect quarters!

Neat coin - thanks for posting it.

Did you know there is a Testing Forum available for all of us to practice in? It is at the bottom of the Navigation pull down menu.

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
