I hope one of you medal collectors or anyone else can help me with this. The image is a portrait counterstamp I recently won on eBay. It's stamped...
Great coin shaner! If you live anywhere near a city that hosts a large coin show, you can take the coin there yourself and submit it in person....
You have a nice collection of medals and things Steve. I enjoy seeing them. Bruce
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was a stamp of some sort or damage, but now I know. The value of "1 /" would have been followed by an...
I think I found your issuer EBG. I found a cannery called the Canfield Canning Co. in Crisfield, Somerset Co., Maryland that issued tokens as C.B....
Much better EBG. Looks very much like a tool check or a tally given to workers for producing X number of products. Very commonly issued to fruit...
Welcome to Coin Talk EBG. So sorry to hear about the loss of your father. As Idhair says, we need better pictures to help you with an ID. It just...
Looks like someone struck it with some object Steven. It's likely just damage, but might be a poor attempt at counterstamping. Bruce
Yes, it's a Masonic penny Rassi. Sometimes they were counterstamped with a members name. Most aren't worth a great deal, but issues of certain...
I did notice the cud and like it. I think these things...cuds, shattered dies, off center strikes, etc...give a coin or token a distinctive look....
Thanks for the information afantiques. That's what I like about counterstamps and researching them...plenty of history involved. Steven: I'll...
My best to you as always RickieB. We're with you. Bruce
Not the condition, Jack, but the general characteristics of it. It's very similar to the "look" of more contemporary pieces. I've seen many like...
You're right, afantiques, official or governmental British countermarks weren't generally employed, but private issues were quite common. American...
Not sure about that one, Steven. I'm inclined to go with afantiques, PMD. It could possibly have been stamped with a small tool of some sort, but...
Love the CWTs ddollard, especially the store card. I was always partial to them over the patriotics, but collected both series. Do you have any...
That's one of the things that has me stumped too Sam...the 12 1/2 Cent denomination. This token looks much too modern to have such an odd value....
My pleasure Steven. Bruce
Welcome to Coin Talk Steven. The closest I can come to your counterstamp would be what's called a "broad arrow" mark. Broad arrow symbols were...
I doesn't appear to be a Lafayette / Washington stamp of 1824 sshafer. All known issues, except a few, have both stamps and there are significant...
Separate names with a comma.
