Numismatic vandalism, is it? Counterstamps applied to a wildly common nickel that will still be worth a nickel in 20 years, and a cull, heavily...
I saw these on eBay shortly before the election. I collect political counterstamps along with the U.S., Irish, numismatically-related, and...
What is that. Paddy? Is it a medal or token of some kind? Even though I'm not a dragon-slayer kind of guy, I like it very much. Bruce
That's a nice engraved coin lord m. Barnes may have been the inventor, or manufacturer of the steam engine. As to dating the piece. Although the...
I haven't added a silversmith counterstamp to my collection in some time, so picked up this one off of eBay a week or so ago. I overpaid for it,...
That is a puzzle, Bill. Either an error or just poor research...or no research. CWT or not, it's still a neat token. Bruce
I DON'T have one of those, Numismat, so the mintage can be revised down to -3. <lol> Bruce

Thank you, Kentucky. Bruce
You'd be welcome even if you were late, Ken. Thanks. Bruce
I appreciate that, my friend. Bruce

Thanks so much, Chris. Bruce

The Token Catalog lists this token as TC 182358 or Miller De200-N5a not N56. Miller is the guru of Delaware trade tokens, so his attribution is...
Interesting pieces, and maybe from the same issuer. One small difference in the style. The periods in the token are square...a bit unusual...but...
I agree, Jeff. As a rule these coins were stamped when they were simply worth face value. If a modern coin were stamped, say a very common state...
To most collectors like me, the coin is relatively unimportant...within reason. The stamp is what I'm looking at, so don't pay a lot of attention...
Oh, I'm not a fan of slabbing, especially counterstamped coins. I've had maybe 7 or 8 in my collection over the years, but have broken them all...
