Message:: [QUOTE="BRandM, post: 2009888, member: 22729"]I have a couple of these in my collection but have never found one...or any others...in change or in rolls. In case you didn't know these were struck by Tom Maringer's Shire Post Mint in Springdale, ARK. All were stamped on nickels as far as I know between 2006 and 2010.  There's another of his that reads "No Oil War" and has a small American eagle stamp on the reverse. He only struck 200 of the ones with the eagle reverse before the die broke. I think there are others without the eagle, but I'm not positive. There are three others that I believe may have been issued by Maringer. There's a "No War For Oil" with a small St. Gaudens $20 gold piece stamp on the reverse. A very well executed stamp as all of his are. Two others that may or may not be his are "End The Fed" with "Ron Paul / 2012" on the reverse. The second is the common "FSP" stamps. I wouldn't be surprised if you found one of his other issues some day. BTW, what other counterstamps to you have other than the states and bust of Lincoln coins? I keep a census of contemporary issues and you may have one that I don't know about. Great find in a roll scottishmoney. Thanks for showing it. Bruce[/QUOTE]
