I no longer have the collection...had to sell everything about 10 years ago. I still have my stock book though. I did have a 1794 VF-20 (B1 C1),...
I like them both...very much. I had a huge collection of Half Cents at one time including many Unc. Never had a 1793 though. Bruce
I was thinking AU-55, Eduard. Beautiful coin for sure. Bruce
I've been to Trevose a few times but not for a couple of years now. I never seemed to find much of anything that interested me, plus it's a pretty...
Do you have any pictures to show us? Bruce
Hard to say, Raizac, but probably by Thies himself. Most examples have R. Thies on both sides, but the few that don't seem to have a number in...
Most of these are counterstamped twice...one stamp on each side. Some though have a number stamped on the reverse in place of R. Thies. I've only...
Anything stamped on the reverse of the coin, Jevon? They sometimes have a random number added...no explanation for that one. Bruce

During a short walk at lunchtime I could walk past Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's grave, Carpenter's Hall and others and...
I love the Bourse token / medal, fretboard. I used to work right next door and walked through the building many times. They had an excellent...
Thanks, Frank. I'm in the process of moving so have been busy with all that stuff. Bruce
Thanks for the detailed history of a very interesting company and advertising piece, Bardolph. There are actually 2 varieties of these...
The M. Nash with the date might be his birthday or another important date in his life...Feb 1/9 and the date of the coin, 1842. The closest I can...
One of the biggest counterstampers of all time, fretboard. There were so many of their stamps circulating that they were considered a nuisance by...
The hole looks fairly neatly drilled in the coin. The roughness is mostly from the length of time the piece was worn. May must have been his...
Agree with ExoMan, engraving and counterstamping are two different things. Although there are counterstamped examples of "love tokens" the...
