  Here are two images I had posted recently. Since I'm pretty sure these were marked with the same stamp I had thought that I had fallen victim to someone stamping random coins and selling them as unique. Going back and checking ebay one is from Cibolo, TX and the other from Austin, KY. Think I just got lucky actually finding two from the same stamp.  In my opinion the 2009 was stamped with a little more force than the 1976.

Click to see a Larger Image! This is the newer location of his statue at the newer Three Rivers Stadium. What I thought was cool about the statue follows: The following is a quote from: https://www.mlb.com/news/pirates-st...park-historyQuote: The base is black granite and stainless steel with a diamond set in the center. There are glass blocks representing first, second and third base, and underneath the glass is dirt from Clemente's native Puerto Rico, Forbes Field and Three Rivers Stadium. Believe it or not. I am not a baseball fan, or any other professional game for that matter. Remington, Winchester, Shakespeare (Ugly Stick) and Fenwick are my favorite sports figures. But back when I was teaching, we were within two hours of Pittsburgh, so how could I NOT take the kids on field trips to Three River, Carnegie, etc.? Great memories and great times. Touring behind the scenes at Three River was amazing!

Moose? Counter stamp? I received two of these in a lot of Masonic related stamped LMCs. Was wondering if anyone out there had any knowledge of a connection?  If this looks familiar I had posted this same question in a different thread.

I'm no flower expert but I think this is a pansy. . .

The flower stamp looks more like a petunia than a pansy.Pansies are not so symmetrical.

Hmm - thought I posted about the flower. Must not have hit submit! Just wondering why specifically a pansy. It would be interesting to know. Maybe a grower of them? Interesting moose (or whatever?). Looks like one of those accidental fantasy animals people make up for posters etc. when they do not do enough homework to find out what a moose (or elk, or deer) really looks like
