I made these last night. This morning I spent them at the bank to pay off my HELOC to finally be 100% debt free. I had to pass the teller a paper buck to get them back to hold as a symbolic keepsake sort of like the framed dollar bill hanging above the cash register in every small business that was the first dollar they ever made.  |

I'm curious how you make counter-stamped coins?

To captainrich, I agree they are collectible I guess what I meant is according to information I've read if a coin is counter-stamped it's worth no more than face value, therefore "not collectible" although I'd be happier finding these than a common date wheatie.

I picked this up today at the CSNS show. Most likely engraved and not counterstamped.   |

Agree ... engraved. This commemorative would be a love token, celebrating a birth, likely in 1892. While this is by no means fancy, unlike most love tokens, this type host coin is one that's been rarely used for a love token.

I see upthread that someone was lucky to find 49/50 states of the 1976 series in a few rolls. Well, last night I just found one (Florida) in a machine-wrapped roll, and now I have 49 states to go:  |

One more than I have, so I suppose you are off to a good start. |

And, here is the strangest coin I have found so far in coin roll searching:   Note that in addition to counterstamping, there is a cut through the coin! Any ideas who "Jim" might be? |

Inside the newly wrapped rolls I found 49 of 50 1976 counter-stamped state pennies in AU/BU condition! Gotabecoolman out of curiosity, which one was missing? |
