Sadly, our experience works for us, Paddy, but it doesn't help those who are more easily deceived. I've contacted some fellow collectors with like...
I'm with you on the SBA, Christian. The Eisenhower is nipping at her heals though.:eek: Bruce
I see many modern Irish / British coins with fake political counterstamps, and have also run into the problem of what to do about it, Paddy. From...
I used to collect CWTs pretty seriously years ago, Pickin and Grinin, but don't have access to my references right now. Sorry, I can't help you...
Love the vignettes on these old notes, panzerman. Your Brownville note is especially nice. I also collect obsoletes, but only from New Jersey. Bruce
A nice, clean CWT, Pickin a
Opps, forgot the pictures! Here goes. Bruce[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd have to disagree with Steve on this one, Sean. The piece would be immensely valuable IF it could be proven to be authentic. Struck generic...
Thanks for posting your coin, Sean. I did quite a bit of research on Civil War dog tags some years ago, and authenticity issues are hard to get...
Thanks, Circus. Probably a tool check, but like you say, could be anything. Bruce
I just picked this up from eBay a couple of days ago for my numismatic exonumia collection. These earlier pieces, before the 1960s, aren't often...
Well, my wife is Irish after all, so I'm pretty good at it, Bill <LOL> Bruce
I posted this counterstamp a week or so ago, and with the help of two CTrs (ExoMan and JBK) I was able to pretty much nail down an attribution....
Thanks, Bill. I like both of them, but especially the one on the Spanish coin. They're a great platform for counterstamps. Bruce
Your counterstamp probably reads "BRINGHURST & KIRBY," Michael. John Henry Bringhurst was one of the early Philadelphia sawmakers c1840s. He...
I just bought a new pictorial counterstamp and need some help identifying it. If anyone recognizes the symbol or has a comment I'd appreciate...
I agree with ExoMan, H8. As soon as I saw your pic I assumed it was a war relic. As far as the hole position goes, it would be an odd place to...
I like these old49er, but don't have any Conders in my collection yet. So many other things I have more interest in, I just never got around to...
I forgot about Ernie, PennyGuy. I haven't bought much from him over the years, but he and Steve both have a great reputation. Bruce
I'd contact Steve Hayden about your token, Dallas. He's a huge CWT seller, and was involved in the new editions of both books. He has a mail bid...
