<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1860230, member: 22729&quot;][ATTACH=full]312540[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312541[/ATTACH] I wanted to show you guys a pretty interesting modern counterstamp I won on eBay a week or so ago. It&#039;s pretty amazing how many modern (1948-present) issues are actually out there. I&#039;ve been documenting them for a couple of years now and the list is substantial. Just a shadow of the number of emissions from the 19th century of course, but a lot more than people think.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller of this one listed it as a tool and die company in Ohio, but I did some research on the stamp and found it belonged to Misico Tool &amp; Die, Inc. in Elk Rapids, MI. The company is disabled-veteran owned and was established in 1990.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The Buffalo nickel host coin I believe is a 1927-D. It&#039;s hard to make out because it&#039;s been altered to better show off the stamp. It&#039;s certainly not hammer-struck as the devices are deeply struck into the coin and actually show a wavy mirror image on the reverse. I would think that this is the stamp they apply to at least some of their products.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
