    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
