<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1811042, member: 22729"][ATTACH=full]295803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]295804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]295803[/ATTACH] I can't read the inscription on the 1825 Large Cent from the picture pest. Is it just random letters or an actual word or name? I would like to see the Lincoln Cent with the "O.S. Woods" stamp on it. To answer your question; Yes, companies did quite commonly stamp their names on circulating coins for advertising purposes in the 1800s but the practice is very rare today. Once in a great while you'll find a contemporary coin counterstamped by a business, but it's unusual. Here's two examples from my collection. The first is hard to read but was issued by Zeiden's Pharmacy in Louisville, KY.</p><p> </p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
