I just picked this coin up from dealer in NY. Wonder if anyone knows the est value, according to my research, only 100 exist for 20th anniversary c/s. I also would not mind selling, as I don't collect c/s coins
Interesting coin, but no clue as to the value. Any Counter Stamp enthusiasts out there?
Cool !!!
If you just picked it up from a dealer it’s probably worth about what you paid (unless he indicated he had no idea what it was).
The dealer sold me a box of aprox 60 different coins, for a $ amount. The dealer had not gone through the box himself obviously, needless to say, I got a great deal so to speak.
I have sold some of the high dollar coins, privately, as I am doing with this coin.
the coin is damaged, because some club wanted to decorate it. if the coin was original, maybe 25 dollars, the way it is now, maybe melt value, 5 dollars. here is a original, undamaged one

coinpalice, do you know what a counter stamp coin is?
something very few people collect, good luck
For $80 I'd rather have the raw counterstamped commem than the PCGS MS64 CAC version (pop over 3000)

This counterstamp is fairly scarce from what I can tell (I only found sales of UNC examples and those sold for a large premium above normal Cleveland Commems). As long as it is authentic (and I have no reason to suspect it is not), this example should sell for a healthy premium.
Here is an old thread (2003) about these:

And a bit of info from PCGS:
"In 1941 the Western Reserve Numismatic Club in Cleveland applied counterstamp dies to the obverse and reverse of 100 specimens of 1936 Cleveland half dollars, an observation of the 20th anniversary of the collecting group, 1921-1941. These were immediately popular and caused interest whenever they were subsequently offered for sale. In 1971 the same organization celebrated the 50th anniversary and had a single counterstamp die made, with a portrait captioned MOSES CLEVELAND, forgetting that the founder of the city spelled his name as Cleaveland! Only a dozen or so 1936 Cleveland half dollars were stamped in 1971."

Thank you U1 Chicago for your excellent research and input on this Cleveland Commemorative coin. One was sold at Heritage April 2018 for $1,020 graded ms 66 PGCS.
That's a cool c/s.

Very cool! Very Unique! What’s it worth “ Priceless “.
Sadly yours isn't MS 66 in a slab. I collect 19th century CS coins, have 300+ . IT's a fickle market, my guess would be a couple of hundred, at the most? Get it slabbed and send to Heritage, you'll find out what the market will bear?
Try again...
That is an awesome coin! Good job!

It would be cool if Dan could comment on how easy it would be to counter stamp the original coin? I think its cool, very unique. I just don't know enough about these, I could see myself bidding on it on Ebay though if I thought I could get it at good price. If you decide to sell it post your price, maybe someone might buy it with your asking price. If no bite's put in a best price. Ebay always want's their 10% and Pay Pal gets their 03%. 13% gone right off the top. Its a shame but such is life.
If it were mine, I would put it on the 'bay for $200 with best offer option. Its worth a premium but patience may be required to get it.
