It's good that you're highlighting these fakes, Jack. What's the giveaway to make it a fake? I have a good feel for fake counterstamps, especially...
You said it all for me, Otis. I don't collect coins anymore, though up until about 10 or 15 years ago that was all I had an interest in. Since I'm...
Looks pretty nice for a "beat up" medal, old49er. At a rarity-4 and in white metal...I like white metal pieces...I'd be happy to have something...
Always liked the Sanitary Fair CWT's, Black Friar. Is yours white metal or silver? Whatever the material, they're nice well-struck tokens. Bruce
Thanks for posting your counterstamp, s&s. I'm tempted to say it's a merchant mark, but there's too little information offered to be of any value...
I like your medal, longnine. I think I have a couple of their [ATTACH] [ATTACH] struck tokens in my collection along with three counterstamped...
I like that token a lot, Idhair. Do you know when it was approximately issued. Looks to be 1850s or earlier, but just a guess. Thanks for posting...

Sweet memories, Wehwalt. This is one reason why collecting exonumia is so much fun. I live in New Jersey, but not familiar with Woodcliff. I would...

The Levis stamp is a good one Moe. I can't help you with the Large Cent variety, but I can help you a little with the counterstamp. As you...
Thanks, coin_nut, that's really interesting. Although not quite the same, they remind me of the old charge cards issued by department stores in...
Very impressive, coin_nut. Do you know what it's used for? Bruce
Can you show us a picture of both sides, Jurnee? Thanks for posting. Bruce
Here's a typical "RIRA" stamp, Mel. Nearly all are on 1-Pound coins. and are heavily struck over the portrait. Bruce [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for the offer, Pickin and Grinin, but they're part of a large collection of these political pieces I have. Here's the other sides though....
Here's two ugly coins with ugly counterstamps on them. These two are from a group of nearly 200 pieces I've picked up over the past few years...
Love to see it, Mel. I have a number of these in my collection. The Real Irish Republican Army wasn't formed until 1997, so theses are about the...
