P.S. It used to be in the IBNS library and I didn't put the green underline there.

I just bought this WRNC medal from a 50+ year member whose retiring and selling his collections. I like this one a lot especially with the shades of toning. It's even nicer in hand than what the picture shows.

Uncirculated 1957 nickel

 

@mack - your Knickerbocker PCWT (Fuld 255/393a R-1) is a great example. The strike of particular PCWT usually isn't found as sharp. :smile

 

Thanks CheetahCats! That one came in a roll of truly unsearched wheat cents, that had a lot of nice wheat semi-keys in it as well.

 

1802 medal - Manchester and Salford Volunteers

 

yarm - I really like that medal!

 

Beautiful medal Yarm! The obverse portrait is stunning. Congratulations.

I just received a small lot of counterstamps from an eBay auction and this was one of them. I'm not sure what the "X" logo stands for, but someone took the time to plane off the reverse and stamp it. It looks remotely familiar to me but I can't place it. At first I thought it might stand for the number "10", but it's pretty elaborate for that. Just stamping "10" would have been much easier. Anyone have any ideas?

Here are three contemporary counterstamps I bought recently from collector Robert Merchant. Tom Mitchell is a N.J. coin collector who counterstruck coins as gifts to other collectors. This one was given to Merchant in 1994. Mitchell's issues are listed in Brunk as M-755 and in addition to this logo there is one stamped "Bob Mitchell / Ethiopia / 1973-75". I don't know the significance of "Ethiopia" stamped on these coins. Merchant also has an example of this one, but wouldn't sell it to me.

Zeiden's Pharmacy was located at 1164 S. 3rd St. for many years but is, apparently, out of business. The Third Avenue Cafe is located at that address today.

I believe the "Bomb Iran" counterstamp was struck in response to the 1979-1981 Iranian hostage crisis. The issuer of this one is actually a member of C/T and goes by the name JBK. His initials appear in very small letters under the bust of Jefferson on the reverse. I thought these were three interesting contemporaries that you guys might want to see. Thanks for looking.
