The Shriners and Masons seem to be heavy-handed when counterstamping coins.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I agree with the others. Just a tip: crop pics before posting. John1  |

This is an unusual type of counterstamp. Rather than using a punch to impress the design on one side, the coin has actually been struck between two dies, a blank reverse die, and an obverse design with the design.

pop outs Were the three 1903's made from real Barber coins? And do you actually own them? They surely look nice. |

I do not own them. I collected images from ebay several years ago. There are probably more listed on ebay. I just need a few images for my educational files. The reverses of the coins look just like the example above. Pushed through from the reverse, shaped by an obverse die(?) Not sure what they call it. Coin real on the watch fob? I'm not sure now. (years ago in the 20th century) |

@BL, these certainly are interesting conversation pieces, but I'm thinking that there isn't much in terms of numismatic value.

The OP coin is not a repousse coin. On a repousse coin the reverse die is in the shape of the obverse image and impresses the metal into an incuse obverse die of the design. On the OP coin the reverse die appears to be either flat or a simple curve not a raised image of the Shriner design.

Conder101 -- thanks for the correction. I just wasn't paying attention. (That's code for "I had wine with my supper'")  |
