I am not able to open the above links at work, but there should be some background on this counterstamp out there on the Internet (maybe even here...
I found the 2012 thread on Coin Community where I saw another one of these quarters. The pictures were deleted by the moderators at some point...
Fascinating! I will dig out the one I have ( not one of these).
Come to think of it, l I might have bought one of these "1/4 NOTES" quarters on eBay within the past year - I need to get my stuff organized!...
I did a quick search for these people and found nothing so good detective work on your part if you found anything at all. Elsewhere (maybe Coin...
Fascinating, Bruce. I hope you'll keep us updated. From the look of the counterstamp, I'd guess it is one of those punch holders that use...
Bruce, that is absolutely amazing that you could get an identification on that coin. I wonder if it was issued during the Reform era and if the...
I agree. Until we see the goods it is just compelling speculation. I did find a photo of a silver spoon with an RF mark but it was slightly...
That's the one included in a lot I picked up on eBay (not delivered yet). I found an old thread on another site (hope it's Ok to post here):...

Yes, I bought it recently from a seller in France. I paid slightly more than I wanted to, but they don't come up often. I actually have two of...
Bruce, that is a fascinating coin. No idea what it means, but it all seems very deliberate. Seems like a secret code. Maybe it is a treasure map...
I had my super rare error done by NGC because I had a question in advance and pcgs would not answer emails. I think (not 100% sure) that either...
I am glad someone corrected me before you too a knife to it... In any case, fantastic error. I found in a roll of new nickels a 2016 nickel...
I bet the dual mint angle is why they offered more than it was supposedly worth. They probably noticed but did not tell you. I'd get it stabbed...
[ATTACH] Here is a coin that combines two popular counterstamps from late 19th century England. This coin was counterstamped PEAR'S SOAP and then...
Totally wild, unsubstantiated speculation: inspector's stamp for a rifle stock. DB = the inspector or arsenal, 37 = the year. The stamp is...
It is stamped with 1960 and either 1980 or 1985. It commemorates the anniversary of JFK's election victory. I have never seen that parachute...
Entry post. Thx!
Just a couple random observations on the silver tag... Style of lettering and period after VA are a positive in my book. Hole looks very worn...
Separate names with a comma.
