chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 07/14/2023 09:49 am Found an interesting company counter stamp on this 1938 LWC... My search for information on the I'm sure now defunct company was fruitless. I did however find a couple of images similar to the counter stamp. Not a match and possibly not even the same company. The name Bako has a lot of uses I've discovered. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

That term immediately entered our lexicon, as it is quite versatile. Here on the Forum, I sometimes use it when someone posts a coin with PMD.

"Basho" is a common word meaning "place" in Japanese. e.g. "Ano basho wa doko desu ka?" = "Where is that place?" I've never heard it used to reference a sumo tournament Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 06:41 am Looks to be a jeweler's mark perhaps? 1910 LWC with FB 14K counter stamp with maybe 4 digits erased due to an unfortunate hit...

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 10:18 am Here's a really unique 'counter stamped' LWC. The obverse has a large Masonic emblem and the reverse has a really large Shriner's symbol.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5810 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 04:54 am I suspect these are Masonic symbols. It looks slightly elongated to me. And the way there seem to be symbols on both rims makes me think this was "rolled" into an "elongated cent" with the symbols on the roller. Hmmm. Three LIBERTY's and three dates. Probably rolled twice in 195x. What does the reverse look like? I'll take a stab and say it started out as a 1921 cent that got turned into an elongated cent in 195x.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 07:02 am I feel I got really fortunate here. The Delta Theta Tau Sorority... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Theta_Tau Has a crest and membership badge. I happened to find a lot that had a counter stamped example of each... The crest is on a 1903 IHC. The year the sorority was founded. The badge is on a 1920 LWC. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
