The counterstamp I own ... because it is a political token now.

My grandfather worked for Fisher Body (though the coin is not from him).

I found this typewriter counterstamp to be interesting...obsolete coin, obsolete technology (typewriter), obsolete advertising technique.

An 1824 Washington-LaFayette medalette counterstamped on a filed-down Matron Head large cent. Rare--only ca. 12 are known. They were allegedly thrown from carriages in General LaFayette's procession to the crowds that lined the streets of the towns through which the general passed. Examples are also known on an 1824 dime, two half dollars, an 1807 half cent, a one real, and a two reales piece. Small medals of this same design are also known in gold, silver, and white metal.

Realone's Bust half was counterstamped by the same folks who did my French Colonies sou, apparently.

PS- I love that Walker with the Fisher coach on it. That's sexy for a 20th century counterstamp!

These are the 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.

1835 Capped Bust Quarter "Houck's Panacea Baltimore" Maryland, Counterstamp, HT-140, Rarity-7.

This is a newly discovered date as up until now none have been known dated beyond 1819 on a capped bust quarter.

Here's one of Dave Bowers 1961-62 circa HK-854A White Metal Continental Dollar SC$1 re-strikes counter stamped with his Empire Coin Company store card during his early days with partner Jim Ruddy. The store card obverse motif is copied from the 1787 IMMUNIS COLUMBIA copper and the reverse from a $5 gold coin of 1795 these being the Empire Coin Company trademark. The obverse states Empire Coin Company Inc. and the reverse Professional Numismatists.

Never saw that Fisher Body one before, and I grew up in the Detroit area near a Fisher Body plant.

That one has to take the prize for most characters in the counterstamp!

"A.G." counterstamped within a wide-toothed rectangular depression on a U.S. 1807 Large Cent, HT-A458, R9, Unique, Ex-Dr. Sol Taylor collection, Brunk plate coin. Brunk states this isn't a mark of a silversmith, pewterer, or gunsmith. The stamp remains unattributed but is assigned to the Hard Times era by Brunk.

Question on counter-stamps: is there a way to tell that a counter-stamp is original? Original meaning, it is "old" and not freshly stamped? I'd think that if there is patina/toning on a coin that is counterstamped, it would stay on the coin, making it difficult to determine how long ago the counter-stamp was performed......any thoughts on this?

How many Counterstamped coins can we post???
