You can search this forum for JOP and other threads concerning this topic. Also if you are a member of the RCNA you can search past issues for articles about the JOP Dollars. This is a great resource and well worth the price of admission to the RCNA. Some will argue that they are PMD and not collectible.They are in the minority. I agree they are PMD as all Counterstamped coins are but they are very collectible. Counterstamped coins offer a look into the past and the times they were issued. For me it is about the merchant, economy at the time, the people, politcs involved & etc. Each Counterstamped coin has its own story. |

Thanx for your concern guys, as I stated in an earlier thread this coins history (collector) was from the Nelson area, he was a forest ranger for the Province. I am told that the coin was personally given to him by Joseph.
What is it that doesn't sit right?
Also please look and compare the coins type one (1) stamp with known others, they are identical.Please have another closer look if you have time. I can load other pics if needed.
Thanx again

nickle nubber...nothing wrong with your JOP...its the rarer type 1 punch. I own two, yours is the 4th example I've seen.
Not sure which of the 4 punches is the rarest. I've had the hardest time finding Type 4, with type 2 being the most common.

I bygone years, clever merchants would counterstamp their name
or business on coins and tokens. The coin or token would be
returned into circulation. This was a great way of advertisement.
It was free, and the coin or token would pass through many hands.
Newspapers and poster boards get thrown away. Money keeps on
circulating and the name recognization keeps on advertising.

There is a very good reference work on Countermarked coins by Gregory Brunk. It was published in 2003. It is titled :Merchant and Privately Countermarked Coins: It is 476 pages of information on all the known Countermarks issued by merchants of the US, Canada,& Mexico. Originally priced at
about $80, it will cost you about $200 now. Not cheap but if Countermarks float your boat it is
a must have.

I have seen a 1948 JOP in a complete collection that Kosta Bakalos (Bluenose Coins & Precious Metals, of Penticton, British Columbia) had assembled, ICCS certified, and displayed in an Edmonton Numismatic Society coin show. It was before I moved to Ottawa, so at least before 2008. Of course, no cherry picking was allowed - you had to buy the entire set!! I think there is a place for this in numismatics, as the prices realized from the counterstamp collection of Geoffrey Bell sold at the last Coin Expo auction would attest. However, CV, if you are collecting counterstamped dollars, then you need to make room for the 1970 GAN nickel dollar counterstamp in your collection!
