 Here's an intriguing maverick or unattributed counterstamp on an 1835 Half Cent. The tomahawk suggests that the issuer may have been a tobacconist or a maker of leather products. The host coin is very close to mint state.

Very cool counterstamp, ExoGuy!
Nice base coin, too.

Sadly, after today, the Half Cents will take a two week (14 year) hiatus...Unless we are lucky enough to see any proofs. Until 1849 rolls around, I'll sit back and enjoy watching the large cents morph from Matron Head into Braided Hair. In the meantime, here is the last of the Classic Head Half Cents.

Hey ProfLiz ... You have some really choice pieces there in your cabinet, and I admire your ability to get such fine pics, too! My counterstamps pale in comparison. Beautiful, they're not, but nevertheless appealing in other ways. Don't put a hold on the Half Cents as yet, ProFliz. I may have a surprise or two in store for you ...
