I thought of that too, rzage, and can only guess. He may have made a few for friends or family members. I've done the same with mine. My avatar is...
It may, Bryan, but it wasn't uncommon for issuers to put periods after their last names. I'm not sure why, but it was done often. Bruce
I looked into Charles B. Tate a bit after my last post, Mike. Unfortunately, after only a couple of minutes I came across three men with that...
That's a really nice counterstamp, Mike. It was likely stamped in 1875 or around that time. The style is consistent with the period. I would guess...
Very unusual, Ed. I like it a lot, but it probably wasn't worn much...too much hardware.:D Bruce
I'd buy something really nice for my wife. After 35 years with her, I can't think of anything more important to spend it on...not cars, coins or...
That's a nice elongated "cent", dwhiz. Being from a coin club makes it even better IMO. I love the ones on larger coins like yours, especially...
Looking forward to seeing it,jrw. Bruce
Thanks for the info, Matt. I've actually seen a handful of fake counterstamps recently. These particular pieces were from Spain and showed pretty...
Here it is, Worn Out. It's on a 1921 Morgan Dollar. Yours is the third example I've seen, that one on a 1923 Peace Dollar. Thanks for showing...
It's still around, Jello. I have one like Worn Out's in my collection. I think Oded may have an example also. The others I've seen are all...
I bought this very unusual counterstamp a few weeks ago, and was wondering if any of you might know what it is. I can't even make a guess and...
I can't imagine why they wouldn't give him a reason, but who knows. I would think they wouldn't arbitrarily ban him without cause. Bruce
This is another medal I picked up at the Baltimore coin show a few weeks ago. A decent 57th anniversary ANA show piece from August, 1948. I bought...
Here's what i have on Doscher, George. As John Anthony said, he was both a grocer and liquor seller. Claus Doscher appeared in the 1862 New York...
I have access to NY City directories of the day, George. I'll be glad to see what I can find out about him. I'll try to get something to you by...
That's a great looking token, wyvern. I love the value they assign to it... 1 Pound for forty tokens. Do you know the purpose of it? An...
Paul has a pretty good selection of military tokens that he takes to coin shows with him, Jack. I've visited his website a couple of times and...
Here's the pics of my Indian Springs 5-cent token, Jack. I left it in the original 2x2 because of the info on it. You're right, it is a NV10a. I...
I looked into William R. Brown a bit more, Idhair, and realized I made a mistake. He was the proprietor of Congress Hall in 1854 so his token...
