Brunk lists a "G. Noble" counterstamp on an 1845 Large Cent, so this may be your coin. The "C" could have been mistaken for a "G" or it's just...
Here's my Demuth stamp, Bill, with added initials. I'd love to be able to figure out who P.H. is. Bruce[ATTACH]
I've seen a few of these pieces on auction sites, and thought briefly about bidding, but never did. Thanks for showing yours. Bruce
Beautiful token, jester. I always liked the off-metal pieces, especially in white metal. Bruce
As some of you know, I have a great interest in collecting and researching counterstamped and graffiti coins relating to the Irish Troubles....
The GSNA show is a decent sized one, but no more than 70 or 80 dealers, Bill. The good thing for me is that it attracts dealers I don't always see...
No info, jester, just the one listed piece. I'll take a look around for you when I get the chance and see if I can find anything. Bruce
I was happy to get the Devins & Bolton stamp after all these years, Bill. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything else at the show, so this one was...
The only Elwin I can find is the one you mention, jester. The only documented W.S. Elwin example is on an 1864 2-Cent piece, so fits the time...
I went to the Garden State Numismatic Association annual show yesterday with some guys from my coin club. It's a state wide show, so has a decent...
That's interesting that you were able to find out things about Dilday, lordmarcovan. When researching counterstamps, I always thought that a...
That's a nice token, jester. I always liked the error pieces, and had some really nice ones when I collected CWTs years ago. I had three or four...
That's a great Half Dollar, Bill. The shipwreck designation makes it even better. Thanks for the pic. Bruce
That's really interesting, H8. Apparently, the cent is mounted on either a silver round or an old coin that's been planed off. The style of the...
All good stuff, Bill. I saw some of these on eBay, but only bid on a couple. I liked the Baquie stamp...you don't see many from New Orleans...and...
These old French coins were heavily counterstamped, especially by English merchants in the later years of the 19th century. It was illegal to...
This is the latest addition to my Irish political counterstamp collection. I bought it from a guy in Ballymena, N. Ireland a few weeks ago. He...
I agree, the counterstamp is more recent than the coin. I'm thinking 1860-1870 or so. It may have been filled with paint to allow the stamp to...
Not a Large Cent expert, AkFlip, but I think this is a common one. It's in really bad shape too, so the counterstamp actually increases the value....
I'm a day younger than dirt, Greenie, so I do remember him. <lol> Bruce
