Every time I get a machine engraved coin it creeps me out. (Okay, this is only my 2nd one, but they have both creeped me out).

Seriously though, does anyone have a clue wth this is supposed to mean? I keep expecting a CIA goon to bust down my door and take possession of it.

LOL you can send it to me :laughing7:

Seriously though it's just a stamp.

a Bit odd it's not a Quarter or at least a Buffalo
But, nothing creepy about it.
 

Could be some one wants to see if there coins come back to them at some time............
 

And people call me crazy?!?!?! :laughing7:

I dont even see a 3 or a 1, or any pyramids...

Interesting mark on the back though.
 

You have to increase your CRH volume to get on that list.

FBI bust downs CRH'ers doors not CIA, they interupted em, me and timzim, and the notorious AG, along with the rest of' the gang one time when we were out back having a cookout over burning halves. They were pretty dope, chilled for a while, I told them bout the Panamanian balboa's and some CC's, and they called me a week later and told me they got some big busts cause of us. even a few of them joined this Tnet as new CRH'ers.
 

Why would someone stamp it? Maybe I'll put someone's phone number on halves with "Call for a good time" and see what happens!
 

Counterstamps are placed on coins from many reasons.

Some for fun, Some for keeping count of In house money versus profits,
some for advertising,
some to say, yes this was a real coin.

Example. Bar rooms have a juke box for a reason.
people stick around if they like the atmosphere.
In order to assure the machine gets started at the beginning of the night,
the bar tender may throw a few quarters in. or hand some to
a patron to start it up. knowing the patrons will either like or dislike the music, and feed the machine. in order to keep count of profit vs.
greasing , they will mark the coins. some with stamps, some just paint a few quarters . only nickel machines I seen lately were restaurant booth juke boxes

One in Atlantic City places Highly polished nickels in a little cup next to them
for patrons to use. when they clean them out, they only count the tarnished nickels as profit, and return the polished ones to the cups.

counter marks have been used to track coins (and bills) ever since coins were minted.
