Joseph and Jacob Stiner became bitter enemies, and at some point...mid 1860s I believe...they dissolved their business relationship, splitting the...
You and I both, Paddy. Not sure about the pretty part, but they're all interesting nevertheless. Bruce
I wouldn't mind getting rich off it, but if I hold my breath waiting I'm not going to be around here very long. One can only dream though,...
Thanks, Bill. I'll have to look further into that aspect of it. In the meantime I'm waiting to hear back from the man in Manchester to see what he...
I posted a picture of this enigmatic counterstamped English Penny a week or two ago, seeking member's help in identifying it. I also asked some of...
I wanted to correct an error in my initial post. The fractions refer to units of tea not coffee. Generally, tea was packaged in foil-wrapped...

I wonder if the hole was added after the counterstamp and why it's centered, Bill. It doesn't matter a whole lot, I suppose...just curious. It...
I've only got two of them, Ken, and I lost a lot of sleep while they were growing up. Twins, you know. Bruce

Man, that's a beauty, Eugene. I doubt that I could afford one of those "Morgan Dollars" LOL! Bruce
You did good for $50, Jeff. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. Here's a pic of my J. YOUS stamp. For those who don't know, Joshua Yous was...
Nice to hear that you have it in your collection, Jeff. If you have a pic of the other one, I'd like to see it. I have a "J YOUS" stamp in my...
