I was helping out at a local coin shop today. I got a call from the other location. (family has two stores) My boss was asking if I had gone to lunch, and asked me not to leave. When she walked in she handed me this and told me her dad wanted me to have it. I thought it was very interesting .. because my name is Tom. first thing I thought of was Jbuck's Ike .. Makes it more nice when someone thinks enough about you to give you cool things. Just thought I would share. Should I use it as a pocket piece?   Just so everyone knows what I am talking about .. Jbucks coin  Edited by GR58

That 's cool ! I do the same thing, I have a punch on my tool bench, and I sign all my coins just in case they get stolen ........

I know the counterstamp probably kills the value but it would drive me a little nuts knowing a large silver coin was slowly wearing down in my pocket.
Also, I love how the word "like" can mean both similar to and have feelings for.

Quite a few tears ago, my wife and I were selling Morgan dollars on ebay, buying rolls on the cheap and selling by one and two at a time. We noticed some of the counterstamped and marked up ones would sell for higher than others. We didn't get it then nor now. But we enjoyed the extra money! |

A pocket piece would probably wear down the stamp and make it less pronounced - it does not look like it was struck too deep. I am a self-confessed coin stamper, I hope I bring a smile (or an incredulous grimace) to some CRHer's face in the future  |

It has a nice patina. Which would vanish after a bit of pocket wear. Now all you need is Dick & Harry to have the full set.  |
