<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 175838, member: 1101&quot;]No doubt it would, and Jefferson would have loved a little spirited debate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Politics aside (if that is what some people are judging on initially), consider that these are a true and welcome rarity - a modern counterstamp.&nbsp; What was once commonplace is now a dying/dead art.&nbsp; There is a small handful of people in the US who are actively counterstamping modern coinage with prepared stamps, and these nickels are works of art in their design and execution.&nbsp; I have personally corresponded with most if not all of the people who are actively counterstamping coins these days and I have obtained samples for my collection.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These will be eagerly sought after by collectors of counterstamps, not just decades from now but in the present time as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. - The current counterstampers I can think of are: Jim Skalbe (coin dealer, uses obsolete US coins), Hellenbeck (coin dealer), Andy&#039;s Coins (coin dealer), <a href="http://www.smalldollars.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smalldollars.com" rel="nofollow">www.smalldollars.com</a> (website), me, and now the creator of the Speaking Jefferson.&nbsp; If anyone knows of any others, please share the details, as I am missing them from my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
