Nope. I do not. I am always pleasantly surprised when I see some that I don't have. It makes the hunt that much more fun.

If I were to guess though I think that the WATER SA is possibly a cut off WATER SAMPLE stamp.

Cool cabin!

Actually, the word "accululate" is a real word and correct in this context. Though no longer in common usage, the verb means to "bring together and then immediately disperse", which fits this situation perfectly.


Thanks for this. I has found that listing but it is for the urban dictionary. From what I can tell, and I would like to be corrected if wrong, this is not an official dictionary b/c entries are defined by the people coming to the site:

Star of David counter stamp on a 1905 IHC..


A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.



In hindsight after zooming in and cropping the image it would appear that the sides of the two triangles are not straight. Therefore I'm not so sure if this counter stamp is a Star of David. It might just be a six pointed star or possibly a flower.

Hehe. I hadn't seen that as an option. Nice eye.

Can you show us what you believe is the oldest contemporary counter-stamped coin in your collection?


The oldest Lincoln Cent I came across was this one but I don't think it counts because it is engraved not stamped:

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.
A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

Looking further I found this one that is stamped:

MADE IN USA 191X
Not sure what the last digit was:

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

Here are three 1919 LWCs that are tied for the oldest that I can find at the moment:

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

And finally the oldest IHCs I could find are these two dated 1859:

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.


A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

Now that I look at these I find it peculiar that the engraved 1912 LWC has letters backwards as does the 1859 IHC. Odd.


Edit:

Here are some uncommon FEC counter stamps:

A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.
A-Running-Thread-Of-Chafemasterj's-Counterstamped-Lincoln-Cents.

I kept looking and found this:
I've gone through most everything so I believe this is the oldest counter stamped LWC in my collection:
