1835 Capped Bust Quarter "Houck's Panacea Baltimore" Maryland, Counterstamp, HT-140, Rarity-7.
Most commonly seen on CBH's, but are also known on CBQ's, $1's, and gray/dark side silver which was still circulating at the time.
This was a newly discovered date as none had been known dated beyond 1819 on a capped bust quarter.
1777-PTS Bolivia 2 Reales, Circa 1836 "Houck's Panacea Baltimore" Maryland, Counterstamp, HT-143, Rarity-7
Houck counter stamped coinage received as payment for his bottles of Panecea for advertising purposes which proves how long foreign silver circulated in the USA.

I dont own this one, but it is in my opinion one of the coolest counterstamps out there.

I was tempted by this Yankee Robinson circus ticket on a 1853 Liberty Seated Half Dollar.
It sold for US $279.99 for on 26 bids from 12 bidders.
Here's some info:
Interesting, I like it !!!
someone with the initials "EB" counterstamped this one maybe...

That's a nice one. Ron Landis does great work.
I have one from that issue, but entirely counterstamped on a coin, so a counterstamp on counterstamp. This is unique.
I love all those posted. Someday I hope to own some of these. They have gotten very expensive, though.
Here is a recent purchase, a coin from Gregory Brunk's own collection:

I haven’t shown this one in a while. It’s a prototype trial design of Mel Wacks’ Camp David Peace Summit counterstamp. (The devices are incuse on this design.
It’s double struck, the first strike being very light. I think a nickel was used on the other side to adjust the spacing before the second strike.
What do you think?
Here’s the final version.
I started collecting these when they could be had for $35.00, and quit when they got up to $60
I think it's awesome. I'm a big fan of the minting process and die trials because they give us insight into how these pieces are really produced. It looks great.
Nice collection. I wonder if they started going up because of your hoard
A lot of pictures are not showing

I love the nickel "undertype!" Cannot recall ever seeing one like that.
A recent purchase from Steve Hayden on ebay - a BOYD counterstamp on a Seated Liberty quarter.
I don't know anything about the issuer but I've seen them around.
Puerto Rico... scarce.
33? Hmmm....

One can argue that this entire issue is counterstamped, but this one has an extra "J.O" on it
