Happy Birthday BRandM, According to our records today is your birthday. Many Happy Returns of the Day!
Dear BRandM, My name is Kyle and I'm a collector of attributable world countermarks and overstrikes and wanted to introduce myself to you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Kyle
Hi Kyle, A pleasure to meet a fellow counterstamp collector. Not too many of us around, but we make ourselves heard. I collect mostly U.S. issues but have a large number of Irish political stamps as well. What is your main interest? Kindest regards, Bruce
Bruce, I collect world countermarks/overstirke mostly from 18th & 19th century, but would include earlier or later examples if I found them to be interesting. Also, most are government issues. I do have a couple of Scottish merchant countermarks which are pretty cool and rare. So basically I collect the world. What are some of your favorites either in your collection or not? Regards, Kyle
Bruce, Do you ever make it to the New York International Numismatic Convention? It takes place the week after the FUN show and will be in your neck of the woods. Kyle
Happy Birthday BRandM, According to our records today is your birthday. Many Happy Returns of the Day!

Hi Bruce, I'd really like to have a token made with your Eagle die. Thanks, Mike Maguire 1118 Wood Heights Ave Baltimore
Sure Mike I'd be happy to. Give me about a week and I'll get one in the mail to you. Please give me your zip code so I'll be sure you get it. Thanks Bruce
Would you be able to take a look at a coin, and see if you know the counterstamp? They said you were the one who might know... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/interesting-1851-2-1-2-liberty-your-thoughts.252087/#post-1984927
Hi i came accross your thread because today i noticed i was given a RIRA stamped pound coin its a 1990 coin
Bruce, Do you have any idea what the significance of the "WARRANTED" is? As for selling it, it's my first draped bust coin and I may never find another. I'm not a collector, just a scavenger and I would have trouble parting with any of my finds. Thanks for sharing what you know about J. DEMUTH. Sincerely, Steve Nazareth, PA

Bruce, We got your money order today and the coins will be in the mail tomorrow. Thanks for your business and I'll keep an eye out for anything else interesting that may come along. Let me know if there is anything else you may be looking for. Also, as a bit of a coincidence, I was born and raised in Burlington, NJ. Take care. -Bob
