Man, that's a beauty, Eugene. I doubt that I could afford one of those "Morgan Dollars" LOL! Bruce
You did good for $50, Jeff. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. Here's a pic of my J. YOUS stamp. For those who don't know, Joshua Yous was...
Nice to hear that you have it in your collection, Jeff. If you have a pic of the other one, I'd like to see it. I have a "J YOUS" stamp in my...
Great counterstamps. Jeff !! I don't ever recall seeing a second one applied to a Pear's Soap piece. That definitely adds interest. and value, to...

I forgot to mention the calendar token, Paddy. I've seen various issues over the years, and always thought they were interesting. As you say, some...
Great pieces, Paddy. Although my counterstamp collection is mostly U.S., I do have a nice variety of stamps on English Pennies. The Lloyds issues...
Yes, I agree with you, Paddy. Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever happen. Please don't abandon this thread though...you have too many...
