<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 1899631, member: 1101&quot;]As has been discussed here before, patience is often the best approach to stalking a favorite counterstamp at a reasonable price.&nbsp; It worked once again for me last week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have seen, wanted, and bid on, quarters counterstamped (usually on both sides) with “R. Thies”.&nbsp; All the ones I have seen seem to date from the mid-1970s (such as Bicentennial quarters) and into the mid-1980s.&nbsp; I have chased them without success to well over $20 on eBay before, but the one I won last week cost me 99 cents!&nbsp; (And that was 99 CANADIAN cents!).&nbsp; I think the key was that the Canadian seller listed some ridiculous postage charge – about $20 for international registered delivery – on the main page but then listed a cheaper alternative on the shipping details screen. In any case, there were no competitors and I finally got an example for my collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am wondering if anyone has any information on who did these quarters.&nbsp; (There is an artist name Ryan Thies, but he is not the source. )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for any ideas anyone might have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
