Found this today and it has an interesting counterstamp on it. Wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks Chris

Cool find, well made stamp, good luck finding out what you can.
Pretty nice host coin to boot.
I got two counterstamped GEO III's on one hunt, none before, or since.
Again cool find.

Wow yours looks a lot better than the 1798 I just found! Great find, and even greater find with that counter stamp! You don't see too many of those!

Big congrats

Interesting stamp , make me wonder if a cross hairs mark is a first here , imo , better than one without a mark , also
getting close to getting a rare 1799 DB is exciting .....
