Nice find from TD's reject slot!
I'm posting this a couple days late due to computer problems but here goes. I dumped some coin into Penny Arcade this past Tuesday. When the teller changed the bag, she handed me the coins that were stuck in the tube leading to the reject tray. Dropped them into my pocket and finished my dumping. Checked out what she handed me when I got back in my truck. I saw a roman numeral three on one coin and knew right away what I had. It was a counterstamped nickel 3 cent piece dated 1867. The counterstamp is Alakin on both sides. You just never know what's going to turn up in this hobby. Thanks for reading. HH-MM2

AWESOME SCORE MM2!!! waiting for an unusual find like that still, so... it urges me to ask, did you get anything off the magnet? 
You don't see many odd denomination coins in this hobby. Its a shame its counterstamped, but I guess it adds a bit more to the history of the coin.
