ColinG Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Everyone, Stumbled on this site and quickly signed up. I collect chopmarked coins - a rather esoteric area of numismatics. Hope to meet some fellow chopmarked collectors out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hello ColinG welcome to coinpeople. I'm not a fan of chopmark since it's not an official mint product but here are some examples: And lastly this bizarre anti-Soviet overstrike over a nicely chopmarked Kiang Nan coin More information here: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?/topic/29055-an-interesting-counterstamp-on-a-chinese-dollar-coin/ Anyways, welcome!

ColinG Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 gxseries, That's quite an interesting piece. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's strange the chops are so clearly visible even though the counterstamp completely obliterates the original coin's design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
