Counter-Stamped Stone Mountain

[leeg]

Doing a chapter on these for my book. If any forum members have an image of one in their collection I hope you will let me use it. Post here or PM me with the image and who is the photographer. They deserve credit also.

 

Just need a little history behind your acquisition of the coin, i. e., the pedigree behind the example.

 

Much thanks in advance.

Yup, I noticed that. Bill has a lot of knowledge and "stuff" around this series. I need to set up a meet with him.

That's awesome and I wish more people would step up and show their counterstamps!

If I take a Stone Mountain half and put it on an anvil and punch in "VA 34," is it still a "counter-stamp" even though I used an anvil and not a counter?

But of course.

 

It just wouldn't be authentic to this discussion.

Do you tell readers how to separate the contemporary punches from fakes made later?

Sure enough.
