Art Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Interesting. I think I've seen that roundish (flower?) stamp before but I have no idea as to its significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi, I would appreciate any information about the counterstamps on this old coin. Thank you in advance, Sigi By sigistenz I think I saw something similar, but can not recall it as of now. Recently I re-read Uzdenikov's article on counterstamps (it was in the new Uzdenikov's book I just received). Well, as no surprise it is just damage to the coins. There are two famous counterstamps - Hutten-Czapski and Lysenko. Uzdenikov's thoughts were that Hutten-Czapski's mark is definitely a damage to the coins, but Lysenko's mark had an excuse for existing - he could not hold on to his collection during the was with Napoleon, so he marked his coins in hope to be able to find them after the war.
