chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 10:37 am 1929 LWC Counterstamped "FULLER". Would anyone happen to know anything about this particular one or is it a maverick? Thanks in advance.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 11:25 am IMHO, this FULLER piece is a maverick. It doesn't appear to be a logo stamp, but if it is, it's a crude one, I'd say. I've not before seen one like this. The stock market crashed in 1929 .... possible connection? Part of the "fun" in counterstamps for me is the speculation. On occasion, speculation can lead to discovery, attribution. Report this Post to the Staff
1c5d7n5m Pillar of the Community Belgium 1185 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 12:47 pm this is a tenth of a Philipsdaalder (small piece, about 3 grams of silver), minted in Nijmegen in province of Ghelders, in the Spanish Netherlands. This coin circulated 10 years before it got counterstamped in 1572 by the revolting province of Zeeland. This monetary intervention was part of the Dutch revolt against Spain, the outcome of which was the independent Dutch Republic, which later became the Netherlands. Only counterstamped coins were allowed in the revolting provinces and everyone had to turn in 11 non-stamped coins to receive back 10 with counterstamps. This was nothing less than a special 10% tax measure to finance the war effort. All these counterstamps were positioned in the neck of the king. The counterstamp of Zeeland (rampant lion in the sea - Delmonte 141E) is rare, compared to the stamp-types from Holland (a rampant lion) An example of the latter is shown in http://goccf.com/t/227906 Edited by 1c5d7n5m 08/05/2018 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 1:24 pm Cool .... Counterstamps were utilized as a means of taxation then. An enlightening post! Report this Post to the Staff
