1867 Nickel Counter Stamp

[Ammoman]

I picked this nickel up last week from the LCS. It?s counter stamped on both sides with the letter ?Y?. Any thoughts on where the counter stamp might be from?



Thanks in advance

Don't know if these sell cheaper due to the PM damage but I do like it better with the stamp.

I guess most people consider this kind of coin worthless but their is a market for counter stamped coins. I picked the nickel up for a buck so apparently the LCS valued it as less than desirable.

I’d have paid a buck for it too.
