A nice assortment from FUN, Bill. I like the O&G especially as you don't see these often with a full strike. I have one that has a weakness at 5...
That's got to be the guy who stamped the coin, Bill. Not at all a common name. You gotta love attributing these pieces. Not only a clear strike,...
That sounds like a reasonable explanation, alurid. Here's a couple of other overstrikes I have. Both show good detail of the host coin. The...
I just realized that our tokens are from the same show in 1980, alurid. It looks like the AINA decided to use some leftover club tokens for your...
That's a nice medal, alurid. The AINA had a habit of stamping numismatic medals over existing coins. I have two in my collection. The "GLACC /...
Nice coin club medal, BadThad. I have about 300 medals from the ANA and clubs around the country, but not this one. A great looking piece. Bruce
Sadly, our experience works for us, Paddy, but it doesn't help those who are more easily deceived. I've contacted some fellow collectors with like...
I'm with you on the SBA, Christian. The Eisenhower is nipping at her heals though.:eek: Bruce
I see many modern Irish / British coins with fake political counterstamps, and have also run into the problem of what to do about it, Paddy. From...
I used to collect CWTs pretty seriously years ago, Pickin and Grinin, but don't have access to my references right now. Sorry, I can't help you...

A nice, clean CWT, Pickin a
Opps, forgot the pictures! Here goes. Bruce[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd have to disagree with Steve on this one, Sean. The piece would be immensely valuable IF it could be proven to be authentic. Struck generic...
Thanks for posting your coin, Sean. I did quite a bit of research on Civil War dog tags some years ago, and authenticity issues are hard to get...
Thanks, Circus. Probably a tool check, but like you say, could be anything. Bruce
I just picked this up from eBay a couple of days ago for my numismatic exonumia collection. These earlier pieces, before the 1960s, aren't often...
Well, my wife is Irish after all, so I'm pretty good at it, Bill <LOL> Bruce
I posted this counterstamp a week or so ago, and with the help of two CTrs (ExoMan and JBK) I was able to pretty much nail down an attribution....
Thanks, Bill. I like both of them, but especially the one on the Spanish coin. They're a great platform for counterstamps. Bruce
