Looking at a coin under a microscope is one thing but in-hand is how most everybody examines coins. I'm saying by looking at a robust coin like a...
Damage wouldn't show on the reverse of such a heavy coin, especially from a lightly struck stamp. Much like counterstamps on British cartwheel...
Yeah, they're real beauties. I guess a million bucks doesn't go too far these days. I guess I'll just keep my million in my sock.:D Bruce
Thanks for the IDs and better pictures. Two great coins. Bruce

Good to see you back. I've had periods where I've gotten away from collecting but have always come back...in my blood I guess. Bruce

A beautiful Lincoln piece. I have a few nice ones I'll have to dig out of my collections. Bruce
There are countless beer tokens out there so this one is impossible to identify. If the other side were readable we might be able to attribute it....
A beautiful coin and one I would add to my collection. Congrats! Bruce
