Thanks to this forum I think I have identified that last post of mine. Looks like it's a "rechenpfennig" (counting token) from Nuremberg. Not sure why the counterstamp though.

This is my favorite c/m in my collection. It is an 1835 Philippines c/m on a 1832 Mexico 8 Reales. The stamp is of Isabel II. I hope this fits in with this thread.

Here's the three I have which were all found in the wild.

33.6 N 106.6 W is a point on the White Sands Missile Range close to what appears to be the ruins of an old farm. Pretty neat.

I hadn't gone through the whole thread before I posted, somebody had simply suggested I put mine up here. Does look to be the same, just dated two years later.

What a neat thread...

Canadian dollars are quite famous for their JOP counter-stamps:

http://www.coinscan.com/silverd/page66.html

They sell for huge premiums at auctions, and Canadian grading companies actually certify them.

http://coins.ha.com/itm/canada/worl...3035-32849.s

There is another stamp in the Canadian nickel dollar series, the GAN 1918-70 stamp, punched on 1970 nickel dollars, which Canadian companies also certify. You can read more about them here:

This one is mine:

You can purchase all kinds of hardened iron stamps online, I bought a beer stamp, and sometimes for fun, I'll stamp a nickel dollar and toss it in an envelope as a bonus to a repeat ebay customer. Sort of like saying, "cheers" with the Queen...
