swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 02:27 am I checked my Krause and you are correct there is a Mexican entry. I had missed that. The punch is supposed to be Arabic for Java. I do not read Arabic but the stamp looks like it is a fantasy made by someone else who could not read Arabic lettering. In fact it looks more like a Mexican revolutionary counterstamp fantasy. I can see a Bow and other elements like the Congress of Chilpanzingo or elements of the National Congress counterstamp. Does the slab identify the stamp as the 184.1? The size of the punch also seem too large when compared to the Krause illustration. Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 11:56 am Thanks for your comment, swamperbob. I was also curious about the appearance of the counterstamp but it looks more normal when properly rotated. The slab does not indicate 184.1 My project tonight will be to assemble a set of java counterstamps for comparison. I should have enough control of my graphics software to preserve their scale respective to diameter of the host. Edited by jgenn 03/05/2019 12:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
