Thanks for the posting, John59 ... Looks like the Empire didn't fare any better than old Jennie Hubbs. I've noted that there were a number of...
This is a new addition. Brunk listed two other two cent pieces, dated 1864 and 1867. I anticipate that this date will be added to his next...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Great thread and well worth resurrecting, so I'll ad my two cents ...
Looks like there's a "W" on the left wing, as well. Might this coin have once visited West Point? ... just kiddin' :angelic:
In today's marketplace, it's quite possible, nearly probable, that any dealer/collector could be "guilty" of unintentionally selling a counterfeit...
IMHO .... 1) The 1907 quarter was a great buy at $30 and is easily worth more than twice that amount. 2) Despite the light but abrasive, obverse...
I LOVE problem coins .... counterstamped, that is, akin to my avatar. These problem coins can literally tell you where they've been, who held them...
BTW, there are likely many other possible issuers in other cities. I simply found a few prospects in NY City. The crudeness of the letters...
I don't see this one listed in Brunk. Also, Kovel doesn't list this mark for a silversmith. That's not unusual though. Given the size and style...

I much appreciate seeing these countermarks. As I pretty much focus on the American merchant counterstamps, I'd sure welcome learning some of the...
Thanks there, Sonny ... :rolleyes:
The greatest collections have started with one, rooman9. While that's a likely unattributable maverick you have there, it's always fun to ponder...
Hi Bruce. According to a Hartzog posting I read, Greg Brunk doesn't do email. If you have an address, I'd much appreciate it.
That's a good find, H8! The J. YOUS pieces are more plentiful than Rulau's 2004 catalog listings suggest, and the curved stamp is the one most...
I've sent a message to Rich that perhaps Greg might contact me. I can give him info on hundreds of counterstamps, if interested. Here's one that...
Sure, Bruce, feel free to report it. I contributed to both his earlier editions. I was unaware that he working on a new one. I also contributed...
I'd not before seen this one, Bruce. Logo punches with the town are ones that I find to be extremely desirable. In your case, the personal...
