Yes, and unlike the real PCGS, I only charge $4.00 to grade a pumpkin. Unfortunately , you have to pay postage, and that gets real pricey for one...
Looks like at least a 65 to me ... Well, it is a pumpkin. I don't have any experience grading pumpkins, so that's just my opinion. Great job...
Hey Hunter, I didn't want to give up so easy, so I went back to work. Found an index for all issues of the 2004 Numismatist online. The January,...
After I read Treashunt's post about it being a copy, I looked again and found the reference to Schenkman's article on Google / Books....
Treashunt is right, it is a cast copy. David Schenkman did a story about this piece in 2004 that was published in The Numismatist. He said they're...
Hunter / The listing was on e-bay, but I'll have to look for it. Apparently this medal is listed in the Sullivan-DeWitt reference as 1861-13...
I did a bit of research since my earlier post, and came up with a little information for you. Apparently this isn't considered a Civil War Token...
Nice token USMoneylover. I'm not familiar with the counterstamp, and it's not listed in any reference I have. It appears as though the stamp was...
I think you posted these pics on a different thread. When I looked at them then (without magnification) then appeared to be counterstamped eagles...
Marshall .... "ER" isn't listed in any references I have, but if you can post a pic I'll take a look at it. I can also send it along to Greg...
I wouldn't be surprised to see this counterstamp get $100/$150 (or more) in a good auction like Steve Hayden's Treashunt. I bid strong on at least...
Ditto on krispy's comments CoinKeeper. Always have physical possession of your metal. If this group goes belly-up, you may not ever get what you...
I do collect counterstamps Dimefreak, have been for a long while. I like the history in them, and research the heck out of the ones I find...
I look at it as a research opportunity for someone in the future. I have a lot of fun doing it now, and hope somebody else does the same in 50...

I had three steel stamps made about 6 or 7 years ago with my logo on it for the purpose of striking my own personalized counterstamps. I use them...
Welcome to C/T Rich, I'm glad you posted. I have a question for you in regard to what's considered the obverse or reverse of a counterstamp. I...
Beautiful find Matt! I would have paid what you did for it, probably a lot more. You're right, a counterstamp collector would pay a nice premium...
The 1829 counterstamp on the obverse is a small eagle, probably applied by a gunmaker, locksmith, or another metal worker. This particular...
It's real. A lot of wear, but still decent looking.
