BTW - I assume that if this theory can be reasonably verified, then the value of the coin would increase dramatically. I imagine that that a...
I had to chuckle at this post, as I do whenever I see one of these MT Talers on eBay. Eight or twelve years ago I would bid on just about any...
And....those pics of counterstamped ancients are fascinating. It is amazing how much they could do back then - from raised letters (I suppose it...
Me, too! That is one of the special things about some counterstamped (or in this case, engraved) coins. I wonder who she was, what she...
Thx - that is good to hear. I figured I helped boost the prices on eBay with my purchase, since after I bougth mine a few more (in far worse...
I would agree, to a point. An unmolested Trade Dollar is indeed a thing of beauty, but one that did hard time in China has been transformed into...
I am glad to be collecting these now, since although my collection is not extensive, what I do have might become out of reach as this niche...
With all due respect, I don’t understand why people insist that a counterstamped cent like this is “only worth a cent”. It may be worth only...

I came across my NJ counterstamped cents last week while packing up the contents of my old coin cabinet at my mother’s in preparation for her move...
Numis-addict: exactly. To go one step further, if you were c/stamping coins with an identifiable partisan political message but were not...
Comma: marketing on coins/currency is a gray area at best, and illegal at worst. I believe that there is a separate section of the US code that...
The ship date ("due date") determines if they qualify for "early release" labels. For those who feel that is importnat, there is a slight...
I sold a sealed box of 5 sets to a "local" dealer (had to drive a little over an hour to get there) yesterday for $3600. I saw them going on eBay...
I will try to locate my NJ cents - I think (not sure) they may have come with a small card. I think it was a private effort (probabaly...
It is good to see that NJ cent. I bought two of them years ago in the original fundraiser. I still have them somewhere. By the way - they...
I don't mean any offense, but I laughed when I read this. I guess I am getting old in that the currency I grew up with was ALL like the one...
I would get the police involved. Is this guy close enough for you to go visit? Or, offer to send him a stamped return mailer. If the coin is...
Separate names with a comma.
