I know too, Kentucky. Well, we should give him credit for starting the thread.:) Bruce
That's a good one, Eng. I've been in a pickle a few times in my life too. Unusual piece. Thanks for posting it. Bruce
I'll keep an eye out for ones that might interest you, Jack. Bruce
Thanks, Jack. When you say "fit into anything" do you mean for storage, or one that will fit into your collection...military, etc.? If you mean...
Here's my two Defiance coin club flats, Eng. The 4th annual show was held in 1969, and celebrated the 175th anniversary of the fort. Yours...
A nice selection there, Joey. I have a token like yours from Tom Culhane, and have one or two CONECA pieces as well. As I collect counterstamps,...
Here's an interesting token I picked up a couple of weeks ago. It's not really a counterstamp, but it's a struck piece with incuse devices. Close...
I like the wooden stamps, Eng. I believe I have some wooden flats from a coin club in Ft. Defiance. If I remember correctly, it was for an...

You see a lot of these on eBay, Evan. For some reason I've never picked up one for my collection, though I've had ample opportunity to do so....
I finally get to see these very cool counterstamps. Love the fugio...very rare seeing counterstamps on them. The "H-I" could be Heydorn & Imlay,...
That's interesting. I'm not familiar with the denomination but believe all U.S. coins exhibit coin alignment. Thanks for the info. Bruce
