Here are some of the older ones I've added to my collection.

The 1962 has a silverish color to it. What kind of process do they put the coins through to achieve that look?

Sorry about the 1919 pic. Think I'm heading to bed.

Two common methods for making a copper coin silver-colored are plating and coating in mercury. I might put the '62 in a 2x2 wearing gloves and keep that coin there.

Suggestion - You should just create one thread for your counterstamps and post them all there. You have too many threads going.

I hadn't thought of that BadThad. I'm new to the forum. That's a good idea.

I've enjoyed your presentations. Although I don't collect this genre myself, your enthusiasm and photos have been educational and fun.

So you know, the owner of the largest collection of C/s in the world, Rich Hartzog, recently passed. His brother plans to sell the collection via ebay.

There are over 8000 unique pieces. Rich had planned a C/s book, but didn't finish past New York.

He was a source of history and education for many genres. I dedicated my Illinois chapter to him.

Rich will be missed and his collection will be dispersed. He had C/s back to 1796 for US.

Nice coins! Does anyone know if the grading companies slab these with a grade or just as genuine?

I believe they are considered 'damaged' coins when it comes to grading. Someone that knows more than me, please chime in...
