Countermarked coins

Recommended Posts

British Countermarks on Copper and Bronze Coins,James Gavin Scott, Spink & Son Ltd., London 1975

 

I'm trying to trace a CP counterstrike that I have on the obverse of a 3/- Bank token and have been lucky in the past matching copper and bronze countermarks to silver coin.
