You came home with six bucks?...WHY?:D Bruce
I wasn't thinking so much as to a political campaign "advertisement", Jeff, but more a tribute to an important political leader. I do think...
Looks like a goatee to me too Sam. At this point it could be anybody. It's kind of a distinctive profile so if someone comes up with the right...
Good to hear from you again, Jeff. It's been awhile. This really is an interesting portrait stamp. The profile isn't familiar to me and,...
Now, I like those a lot fretboard. It's so cold here in Jersey that a slug...or two...of Old Drum would go nicely right now. I'll chase it with a...
Looks like it may have been a button or medallion of some sort, Steve. The obverse of the coin looks to have a dot of solder or medal that...
Nice woods Circus. I had a huge collection of woods, but eventually disposed of them. I did keep my flats though, all issued by coin clubs. I...
Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I'm still not able to make out any more detail. I suppose I should consider the portrait to be that of a...
Man, I haven't checked this thread in a few days. I missed a lot of nice stuff, but I'm caught up now. Keep 'em coming! Bruce
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...

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...
