Found these this weekend. I have found several in the past but this is my first Masonic counter stamp and my first Yogi Bear. Where in the world do these people get these stamps to do this to coins?

By the way, Tammy, I found your coin.

Sweet!

I love those counterstamps and wish I'd come across one in my roll searching. Been through a few dozen boxes and have yet to find one.

Those counter stamped coins are really cool! I have only seen one here or there in coin magazines. If I ran across one for sell I would probably buy it as long as it was reasonable.

Nice! I really like the Masonic one alot! I have only come across two, and kept them both... One has a large 5, and the other is a 1964 with Kennedy's face.. I like the Masonic one much better though! Nice find!

Actually was bidding on ebay for a set of 2000 Lincolns counter-stamped with the out line of the each state on 50 coins in an album with a history of the 13 original state. Should have won it though but I didn't follow through with the bidding.

I won't miss em the next time I see em.

I was following that too but I passed on it and bought 40 ounces of Stackers instead. I had to show some kind of restraint lol.

I recently found a 1968 JFK counterstamp, my only one so far. Are counterstamps really worth that much more? Maybe I can find a stamper and start selling them. Might even make enough to buy myself my first gold coin!

I don't believe so just a novelty I suppose. Just something different and interesting at best.

I have a few JFKs from the 70's, but never have found one in the wild. Nice find.

Ha! Thanks Raymo for plugging my counterstamp post! These are always fun to find. Can't believe how much action that post has gotten since my absence!
