Do you own this coin, Endeavor? It's a beautiful piece with a high quality counterstamp very carefully placed so not to damage the design....
I'd say Good.
Great to hear from you again, my friend. It's been a long time...far too long. I checked out your photo gallery, Siggi. Great work and a load of...
I always liked this CWT, Bill. Very unusual. I hadn't thought about the resemblance to John Wayne's western gear, but it does resemble it. I knew...
That's a nice New Jersey, SorenCoins. I should know, I live there <lol> Seriously though, I had a good collection of colonials years ago. I...
I picked this up on eBay a week or so ago. Counterstamps on old silver coins (this one an 1844 S/L Quarter) are generally more desirable than...
Good to see the Ramsay piece, Bill. I suspect you're right about the likely attribution to NY. The coin has really seen some hard times, but the...
I'll be glad to look into it for you, Vegasnay. Looks like a long shot, but you never can tell. Kudos to your dad. A fine man for sure. Bruce
That has a brass look to it, Bill. Nice token by the way. Bruce
Nice additions,jester! The picture of the Fuld 133 makes it look copper to me too. The difference between the look of toned brass and copper is...
That's a great set of companion pieces, Bill. It really adds to the whole history of the issuer. The whole set would fetch a pretty penny if you...
Counterstamps on CWT's are pretty scarce, jester. You're right about Brunk listing it, but no information on him. His example is on an 1801 Large...
Septagonal, heptagonal...both words are disturbing. Just use a word that everyone can agree is wonderful, even if it has nothing to do with coins....
Thanks, Christian. Bruce
Thanks for the information, Christian. I always knew the "d" indicated penny, but wasn't aware of its origin. The use of the ligature is also...
Counterstamps are an interesting branch of numismatics to me, Victor. Good to see you on the forum. Bruce
I'm thinking a WS69, Chief. I think I see a little rub on her right knee.<lol> All kidding aside, a nice wood for sure. I used to collect wooden...
Good to hear from you again, my friend. Sorry about the misunderstanding, but I don't know if he's still with us. I haven't heard that he passed...
An interesting stamp on an Iranian coin. I suppose you could call this a political issue. Thanks for posting it.
That's a nice, well struck Skalbe stamp, Jacob. Jim Skalbe used to give out these stamps at coin shows, in case you're not familiar with his...
