Looking forward to seeing it,jrw. Bruce
Thanks for the info, Matt. I've actually seen a handful of fake counterstamps recently. These particular pieces were from Spain and showed pretty...
Here it is, Worn Out. It's on a 1921 Morgan Dollar. Yours is the third example I've seen, that one on a 1923 Peace Dollar. Thanks for showing...
It's still around, Jello. I have one like Worn Out's in my collection. I think Oded may have an example also. The others I've seen are all...
I bought this very unusual counterstamp a few weeks ago, and was wondering if any of you might know what it is. I can't even make a guess and...
I can't imagine why they wouldn't give him a reason, but who knows. I would think they wouldn't arbitrarily ban him without cause. Bruce
This is another medal I picked up at the Baltimore coin show a few weeks ago. A decent 57th anniversary ANA show piece from August, 1948. I bought...
Here's what i have on Doscher, George. As John Anthony said, he was both a grocer and liquor seller. Claus Doscher appeared in the 1862 New York...
I have access to NY City directories of the day, George. I'll be glad to see what I can find out about him. I'll try to get something to you by...
That's a great looking token, wyvern. I love the value they assign to it... 1 Pound for forty tokens. Do you know the purpose of it? An...
Paul has a pretty good selection of military tokens that he takes to coin shows with him, Jack. I've visited his website a couple of times and...
Here's the pics of my Indian Springs 5-cent token, Jack. I left it in the original 2x2 because of the info on it. You're right, it is a NV10a. I...
I looked into William R. Brown a bit more, Idhair, and realized I made a mistake. He was the proprietor of Congress Hall in 1854 so his token...
This is a Hard Times Token, Idhair. These private issues, along with political and satirical pieces, were issued to fill the need for small change...
It surely is an interesting coin, Numismat. Maybe it is struck, but on a very poor quality, damaged planchet. Bruce
There's a black SUV parked across the street from my house...now I know why. YIKES!!:eek: Bruce
Thanks for the wonderful history, Jack. I'll see if I can get a pic tomorrow and post it. Bruce
Nice counterstamp wlw. Nice clear stamps on a pretty decent Large Cent. There are two different Stibbs stamps documented. Yours, and another...
Yeah, that's an odd denomination, Jack. They must have had ninety cent specials or something. Do you know the approximate date of the token? BTW,...
I have an Uncle Frank, David. Send the coin to me and I'll make sure he gets it back.:D Bruce
