Post up your Counterstamped coins !

There is a really wide variety of these out there - US and foreign, modern, vintage and ancient, revaluation, artistic, and merchant advertising.

My decent into exonumia has led me down this rabbit hole of late. I'm interested in seeing examples I may not be aware of. Post yours!

I'll start with a recent arrival.

I owned this at one time.
And someone placed this sign in there window, me I went to the Pork roll eating contest in Trenton, NJ when he came to Philadelphia and Joey Chestnut won. .

 

Nice Mel Wacks piece @dwhiz . . . .

I'm still trying to get a few more of his pieces. This is probably my favorite so far.

Brazil, 40 over 80 reis, 1830 R,

 

It has quite a history which I’ve never posted. Maybe one day.

 

Here's my contribution.

 

I have posted this before somewhere. Only counter stamped I own. It has an anchor (or at least half an anchor) and the letters U and S.

 

I'm very partial to coin and numismatic club countertamps. This one by the Missouri Numismatic Society in 1963 is quite unusual in the counterstamp is sheild shaped and not round.
