Greenstang Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That's called a counterstamp. Someone for some reason has hand punched the 5 on the coin. It is considered damage although there are some people who do collect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 When you post coins for inquiry you should post a picture of both sides and ask a question to let members know what you are looking for. If this is a genuine 1904, it has been counter stamped. It didn’t leave the mint like that but someone added it. It’s damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok sorry I never could find any information to why the 5 was on it and did it do anything to the coins value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is no it doesn’t add value and most consider it damage. However, some people do collect these. But if you think about it something like a 5 you could stamp in your garage.

Henri Charriere Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 [Speaking strictly as a chiffonnier, I should like to think one [wo]man's trash is another man's treasure. As a matter of fact, if it were not for the Hollow Nickel Case, historically speaking, the names Gary Powers and Rudolf Ivanovich Abel probably would have never been inextricably linked with the U-2 spy plane shot down over Russia.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
