Counterstamps appeal to me, physics-fan, because of the issuer's known history, or for the fun of researching them. It's very satisfying to be...
I like your stamp Mike. The "PC" was probably added when the coin was nearly new. The "wear" on the top of the initials on the obverse are...
Here's one of mine stamped with lions...or cats...roosters, and a pig. I don't know who Church is or whether he struck the farm animals and the...
That's a nice counterstamp derkerlegand. I like the pictorial stamps, and have one or two with pigs on them myself. Also, roosters, dogs, lions,...
Agreed, JA. I'm feeling Doug's hot breath on my shoulder right now.I know what it is, but my lips are sealed.:muted: Bruce
Very interesting history, brg, and very much appreciated. While I have a rudimentary understanding of the Conder Tokens, I wasn't aware of the...
If you like it, peaches, it's NOT junk! Collect what you want, not what someone else wants. I like your note. Bruce
I've found that a lot of exonumia, and coins for that matter, that come from Hawaii are very well done and easy on the eyes. I even have some...

A bargain, Bill...then and now. Congrats. Bruce
You have to love that one, Bill. Where did you come across it? Bruce
I found this jeton at a dealer's table at a small show in Burlington. I bought it because I liked it, but also because of the counterstamped "JB"...
I've seen these before with the "Not" removed. Yours is pretty well done though. An interesting piece. Bruce
You have quite a nice collection of exonumia 49ers. I don't comment much because I don't know a lot about the pieces you post, but I sure enjoy...
It looks to be someone's initials, Idhair. There's no listing in the references for it. Bruce
A couple of coin related tokens I picked up at a small local show this past Sunday. The Macomber piece, which I like very much, is plastic. The...
That's a nice older stamp Eagles. As counterstamps go, it's probably worth $25 to $35. The reverse is blank, is it. Thanks for the better picture....
Actually, most of his mistresses or girlfriends were in France as he spent many years over there in negotiations...England also. As you say, he...
