I see a lot of these when I search eBay/UK, Paddy. There certainly are legitimate ones around, but also modern reproductions on old coins. I'm not...
A nice one, dwhiz! Another locomotive for your collection. Bruce
I didn't think it was possible to OD on Folgers, Bill. I'm a heavy, long-time user though, so I only get a little twitchy.:D I didn't mean to...
I like your Borden's tag, Circus. I don't think Borden's is still in business. I don't recall seeing the brand for quite a few years, but maybe...
Thanks for showing your tokens, Paddy. As you might gather I enjoy all types of exonumia, especially tokens and counterstamps. Interestingly, once...
Masonic Pennies are an interesting area of exonumia to collect, Circus. There are other organizations such as the IOOF also who issue identifying...
Thanks for posting your Toomer counterstamp. I don't have a copy of Scott's reference, and this one isn't listed by Brunk, so I've never seen it...
Thanks, Sam. I just can't own a counterstamp without at least researching the meaning of it, or to attempt an attribution. Much like you with your...
Here's another one of my Irish political counterstamps. I consider it one of the most interesting pieces I've seen because of the story it...

Now, there's a Father's Day gift to remember, Sam. Congratulations! Bruce
I just picked up a small collection of Irish political counterstamps on eBay. These date to the Troubles era (1969 / 1998) during probably the...
You and me both, Frank.:D Bruce
I can't add much to what Bill has already said, except I did find another possible issuer. There was a 23 year old mechanic with this name living...
That sounds like a great price, Circus. You better grab it while it's still available. Bruce
Nice batch of transit tokens there, Circus. Do you perchance have the Coffee-Atwood references for these pieces? I did at one time, but have since...
Geez, Jack, that's one tubby cat!:eek: Don't want to get on the wrong side of him. Bruce
Strange, I saw a set just like this a couple of weeks ago, Bill.:D Bruce
You're fight, Insider. It doesn't matter a wit to me. Maybe we can just describe them as purposeful damage.:D Bruce
Maybe not necessary, Jack, but they often are. Even if not, the condition of the counterstamp itself is important to a serious collector. Steve...
