One country. is What I am talking about! I will get the silver rounds tomorrow. Got a little to add to that.
I bought this very unusual counterstamp a few weeks ago, and was wondering if any of you might know what it is. I can't even make a guess and thought I would post it for your comments. The stamp you see..on both the obverse and reverse of an 1860 I/H Cent...seems to be completely on the planchet. I don't think there's any more to it than what you see. I don't even know what's the proper way to look at it, so I took pics of it in different positions. A strange but interesting stamp, I think. Any ideas? Bruce
It's still around, Jello. I have one like Worn Out's in my collection. I think Oded may have an example also. The others I've seen are all overstruck on Peace or Morgan Silver Dollars. Bruce
Here it is, Worn Out. It's on a 1921 Morgan Dollar. Yours is the third example I've seen, that one on a 1923 Peace Dollar. Thanks for showing yours. Bruce
Do you or anyone reading this have an idea what this token is currently going for? Just getting back with my civil war era tokens and I have the gilted brass example....GMcC 1864-14 in Unc. I will try to post a couple of pics of it this weekend. Your input is appreciated. jrw711 Sorry, I thought my post linked to the post which pictured the referenced campaign token. I will post pics of it later today.
Here are are a couple of pictures of the McClennen 1864 Presidential Campaign token. DeWitt GMcC 1864-14 Brass. Unc and it looks nicer than the pictures I am able to upload.
was General Oriental? I seen this In more than one medal from 1840 - 1895. But had never heard the reason why engraving are like this.
That's a nice elongated "cent", dwhiz. Being from a coin club makes it even better IMO. I love the ones on larger coins like yours, especially when you can make out details of the coin itself. Bruce
Picked this up at the MSNS Spring Convention a few weeks ago. Made by Ray Dillard they were pressed from Jefferson's and given to the Awards Breakfast attendees only. All Convention attendees could pick up this bronze cent version at the registration table
Upon the death of George III in 1820, a medal (BHM 998, 55mm) was produced by I. Parkes showing the Hanoverian Succession, George I, II and III in full regalia.
