Really wish I could make out the year. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 194816 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 5:24 pm That is right. It is all good as long as they get cross-posted in the Official "Post a Counterstamp" thread.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 5:29 pm That my dear sirs is NOT a counterstamp! Just a metal stamp. Ones used to make the tin plate ID parts markers. Used to see those on '57 Fairlane radiators and body parts. If you call that counter stamped then a coin whacked by a socket and hammer would be the same, tooled alteration. I'll start using a 1/4" x 13/64" socket and call it the "Obama" counter stamp...fair game? I see a failed marketplace tho... Edited by Crazyb0 12/18/2017 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 194816 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 5:38 pm Ah, I see. As I said, I thought it was too big for the coin. Still, a fun find and I would keep it.

I had thought it was a speed-not-quality way to stamp a bunch of cents for advertising purposes but what you posted makes a whole lot of sense.
