Heres a coin I found couple of weeks ago I posted in the detecting finds forum. A British 5 shillings bank token with a counterstamp on George's neck "JP". I thought that I could look around for a little more info on the c/s...well I didnt find anything specific but while searching for other tokens from that series I did see another with the same c/s in the same place on the obverse of another token, this time an 1813 1 shilling 6 pence...so I can say that this maverick has a mate out there and perhaps more? If anyone else can offer any other info on this c/s it would be greatly appreciated. I'll continue to hunt down the origin of this one..I think theres an answer out the for this one!   |

Thought this counter stamp was really cool. When I won the auction I was ecstatic. Thought I'd share. . .  Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

I love all the new additions to the thread.
The Lincoln cents with the states stamped in them - I remember those from when I was a kid many many years ago.
That Ron Paul stamps is great - love the design and the history to it - I wonder how many made it to the wild.
And of course the 5 shillings with JP! Great find.
Keep going!
