That's fun! I used to live just half a block from the old Playboy Club in Chicago.

Have you ever counted up how many Masonic counter stamp coins you have ?


Well, I counted them. Now mind you, I didn't purchase all of these individually. Most of them came as a byproduct of lots I bid on to acquire a different unique counter stamp I didn't have. Some I did purchase because they were unlike others in my collection and some just because they were cool.

Total is 456.

My old employer and mentor had a membership there that he was very proud of. He even kept his membership card in his wallet long after The Playboy Club closed.

You're welcome.


Well, McShilling created an itch I had to scratch. I was curious just how many counter stamped cents I had total. This number includes the pressed cents as well. I was surprised because I thought that the last time I counted it was around 1100. I must have seriously miscounted or have really added to my collection since then. This number also includes any duplicates I might have as well as the 456 Masonic.

Total 2535.

Yes, but mine were a mere fraction of the cost.

Wow! A mind boggling number of counterstamps! How cool would a 50X50 grid of counterstamped cents be to take a pic of and use for computer wallpaper or print out and use as a large framed picture?
How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

That would be pretty unique.

Be hard to set up though.
