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

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

No, sorry. I saw it at a local coin shop yesterday.

Also, it's very very crude.

I just posted it under "possibly countermarcked hard times token"
