Brunk lists a second example on an 1861-1871 type Swedish Riksdaler. It's probably the same one listed in exonumia.com that spirityoda mentioned....
An honor award no less. Can't overstate the importance of toilet paper Circus.:p It's surprising what neat stuff you can find in a bargain bin. Bruce
I also haven't seen any documentation to support the current theories regarding the meaning of the counterstamps. Initials-only stamps are...
Two more beautiful CWTs Brandon. I don't know the real rarity of the first one, but when I collected them I don't recall seeing many in any grade....
I really like the Freedom America design Circus. I believe I had a round just like it at one time. Bruce

Thanks for the nice card and stamps Frank. I appreciate it. Bruce
Geez, that's a bad visual Ken! Better coffee than a fine adult beverage though. :D Bruce
Arghh! Don't know what it means but it's definitely "pirate speak".:arghh: Bruce
That's a beauty! Love the gunmetal blue toning. I had a Marshall in my collection but it wasn't silver. Interestingly, he also counterstamped...
That's right Jack, you do have one. Post away my friend!!:) Bruce
It would have to be counterstamped then but struck very lightly. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it. I've never seen one like it and...
I don't think it's a counterstamp because there's no flattening of the coin's design where the "L" is. It looks more like it was marked with...
