    The Papal States soldo counterstamp refers to the 10th century "anti-pope" Boniface VII.

    It's a neat item.

    "Penny-farthing Pedal Pusher": pictorial love token on 1876 Seated Liberty dime

    [​IMG]

    Larger obverse picture
    Larger reverse picture

    Host coin: 1876 USA Seated Liberty dime.
    Obverse: original Seated Liberty design, unaltered.
    Reverse: Victorian "penny-farthing" (high wheel) bicycle in landscape with foliage and cattail plant in foreground, bird in sky.

    Ex- "whitewolfcoins", eBay, 06/21/2017.

    This is a wonderful high-Victorian love token charm, anonymous since it was carved without any engraved initials, simply for the sake of art alone. It likely served as a charm on a lady's bracelet or gentleman's watch fob. The engraving is excellent and the whimsical subject matter evokes the era perfectly. Furthermore, the engraving is likely closely contemporary to the host coin, since the penny-farthing, high-wheel bicycle went out of fashion in the 1880s with the development of the safety bicycle, which more closely resembles the kind we are familiar with today.

    That's a nice, well struck Skalbe stamp, Jacob. Jim Skalbe used to give out these stamps at coin shows, in case you're not familiar with his story. I've posted a picture of an example in my collection, but without the Stein counterstamp. I was given the coin by a counterstamper friend of mine from Massachusetts who knew him well.

    I picked this up at the Lancaster Barnstormers game. I was looking for a elongated coin machine but no luck.

    for a list in excess of 300,000 us and foreign tokens with photos do a search for "Richard's Token database" established by Richard Greever. A simple google search will get you there. enjoy

    I have one of these counterstamps in my collection, the host coin being an 1851 large cents. I suspect that Brunk's listing for a G. NOBLE on an 1851 large cent (probably my piece) may have been in error, with the G. having been mistaken for a C. NOBLE. There was an engraver named Charles F. Noble, listed in the 1861 Philadelphia City Directory. While he's a possible issuer, I don't feel comfortable as yet attributing these to him; this, as the middle initial is absent.
