I think Ken's right...not likely a counterstamp. Bruce
Outstanding Commen Shaun...my favorite modern by far. Great addition to your collection. Bruce
I love the vignettes on the old U.S. notes Steve. Even the privately issued obsoletes are little works of art. That's what attracts me to them,...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I haven't added to much to my NJ obsolete collection lately, but I saw these nice pieces in Philadelphia and decided to buy...
I do too Joseph. The Spanish Reales and Seated Liberty Quarters or Halves are my favorite coins to collect with counterstamps. Thanks for your...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's another counterstamp I picked up in Philly at the A.N.A. show, this one from Steve Hayden. This is a harder piece to find...
Really nice medals Ken. Do you have any idea who cut the dies? First rate craftsmanship for sure. Bruce

That's exactly what I do Joseph. I bid my max and see what happens. So far I've been pretty successful doing it that way. Bruce
That's a nice one Joseph. I've always wanted a few examples of encased postage but just never bought one. I hadn't thought about them in sometime...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's two more counterstamps...on modern coins. These were issued by the Western Reserve Numismatic Club of Cleveland, Ohio to...
The coin's copper Derick. I forget the size and weight of it off hand, but it's about the size of a U.S. Large Cent. The man I bought it from is a...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's one of my most recent pickups Derick. Can't tell what coin it's struck on but looks early U.S. colonial. This one's from...
