This week’s question is from Reddit:

So this one’s a good question. In short:

Counter stamps on coins, including chop marks, are modifications not made by the mint. Privy marks are similar in that they look like counter stamps, but are done by the mint.

They serve various purposes, from decoration and souvenirs, like state outlines or presidents' busts, to practical uses in coin shortages, such as during the Civil War where shops created makeshift tokens. For example, chop marks, particularly from 1800s China, verified the authenticity of foreign silver coins.

While many counter stamps are collectible, they differ from privy marks, which are official symbols added to commemorate special occasions, such as the 75th anniversary of WWII victory on certain U.S. quarters. These features offer a unique aspect of numismatic collecting.

Cool find!
