<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 1775838, member: 56869&quot;]I&#039;m not really a counterstamp collector, but I&#039;ve recently encountered one that I find quite interesting, particularly after &quot;googling&quot; it. At the recent summer ANA convention in Chicago, my wife found a gold bracelet with six gold coins in bezels hanging from it. The dealer wanted $2,200 for it, which seemed reasonable given the amount of gold in it. Anyway, 4 of the coins were US gold pieces and 2 were foreign. One of the US coins, an 1845 quarter eagle, has a B. C. HOFF counterstamp on the obverse. Of all the B. C. HOFF counterstamped coins I found online, I couldn&#039;t find any that were gold pieces. Are there any other counterstamped gold pieces known? If I can get more information about this piece, I might write a column for <i>Coins</i> magazine about it. Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
