A good note to start an obsolete collection with, Mat. I've only been into obsoletes a few years now, but have a pretty decent collection already....
These are two counterstamps issued by coin clubs that I was given recently by a fellow collector / researcher from Tennessee. He doesn't collect...
There's a lot of Masonic stuff out there Eagles, some on older coins, but most on newer ones. Be sure to post a good picture for us to see when...
Yeah, we could , Jeff, but they wouldn't be "legit":eek: Bruce

I call these "chisel coins", Mike. Someone took a chisel or another flat tool and decided they didn't like your coin. I see this kind of damage a...

Keep looking Bonnie Sue! it's half the fun of this hobby. Good luck! Bruce
