<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1062548, member: 22729&quot;]Thanks Chris. The history behind counterstamps really fascinates me and makes me want to find out as much about them as I can. Dave Bowers made an attempt at cataloging these pieces back in the 50&#039;s when he was a young man. I know he has (or had...it appears as though he&#039;s selling them) a large collection of them. As a matter of fact when Greg Brunk decided to write his first book on counterstamps, he consulted Dave because of his knowledge in the area and the huge number of examples he had. Dr. Brunk himself has been involved in research probably for the better part of 40 years. He also had a huge collection which he auctioned off through Rich Hartzog over the past few years. I also own a couple of his pieces and have the old lot tags from the original sale. I think it&#039;s cool when you can document previous owners of any coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
