Counterstamped Chain Cent (not mine). Heritage. Can't say I have seen many of these. Cool piece!

    I give up.

    who bounce stamped it?
  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 38,569 ✭✭✭✭✭
    the letters R CUTLER are raised and easily read. Brunk attributes the stamp as C-1188 from New Haven, and notes it is seen on a 1787 Connecticut copper and a 1793 large cent (likely the present coin). No EAC grade assigned

    I would like a chain cent even if it were counterstamped.... just a neat old coin... Cheers, RickO

    Counterstamping low-grade/damaged coins seems to be one method of increasing their value...otherwise these coins are generally uninteresting!

    ***older thread alert

    I realize there are some major rim issues, but does anyone else feel these details are much stronger than 'Good'?

    I would have loved to have it except it looks like someone tried to engrave the date..... if it weren't for that! image

    Super "filler".
  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yep....would still own it and enjoy it..... will find one someday... Where I live has houses and buildings dating back to the late 1600's... so, when I MD, I am always hoping for a chain cent.... maybe this year...image Cheers, RickO

    Very interesting but I'm sure someone paid far more for it than I would have paid.

    Severe rim damage in addition to the counterstamp. It's not a coin I would want.
