thank you!

 

Thanks for the translation, Dave!

 

Once again, Christian...my gratitude for your scholarship!

 

Amazing color CC , especially on the Goodrich & Gay .

 

Just picked this in the 50 cents ea. bin at a pawn shop i stopped by in another town as i passed through. Apparently the soft white metal they were struck in has resulted in a low survival rate. I've seen others for sale with the seller claiming they are a R3. (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...CENTENNIAL++MEDAL++&_sacat=See-All-Categories ) The hole is as issued. The dremmel marks are not Sorry for the lighting but I'm on the road.

 

Nice specimen you have :thumb:

To some degrees, the seller is right. Many of the white metal varieties of that era are indeed soft.

Here are a few political medals struck in that same or very similar white metal.

 

I have that very one and it looks like it's twin. Bet I paid more then you though lol

 

1864 Pius IX by Bianchi, 43.5mm

 

I guess my Civil War Token falls into this category...:thumb:

 

Love the die cracks on your CWT non cents. Really gives the token some character.

I sold this mess a few months ago. Brought more than I expected.

Perhaps someone could enlighten me on the stamp's origin... *cough* Bruce?

 

This is a well known counterstamp Brian. Although its been on record for many years noone's been able to attribute it that I know of. Its designated F-21 by Greg Brunk and appears on at least 20 coins, nearly all being Large Cents. I have an example in my collection also on a Large Cent. The interesting thing about this initials-only stamp (which I don't usually collect) is the fact that there's only a single point on the right side of the depression as opposed to two points on the left. (Unusual). Also the bottom of the "J" at the turn has a "heal" or spike. I've never seen this style before and could be potentially important in an attempt to attribute it. If a documented stamp surfaced with either or both of these characteristics then the maker of this one might be identified. Great piece Brian. Thanks for showing it.
