It may, Bryan, but it wasn't uncommon for issuers to put periods after their last names. I'm not sure why, but it was done often. Bruce
I looked into Charles B. Tate a bit after my last post, Mike. Unfortunately, after only a couple of minutes I came across three men with that...
That's a really nice counterstamp, Mike. It was likely stamped in 1875 or around that time. The style is consistent with the period. I would guess...
Very unusual, Ed. I like it a lot, but it probably wasn't worn much...too much hardware.:D Bruce
I'd buy something really nice for my wife. After 35 years with her, I can't think of anything more important to spend it on...not cars, coins or...
That's a nice elongated "cent", dwhiz. Being from a coin club makes it even better IMO. I love the ones on larger coins like yours, especially...
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...
