Chafemasterj, nice counterstamp! It's pretty interesting with the United States flag on it. I have one question. How much do you typically pay for the counterstamped Lincoln Cents Chafemasterj?

Like anything else it depends. If I and someone else want the same one on ebay the price can go up, but typically $1-$10.

Here's something a little out of the norm for me.

An 1879 IHC WG or GW Love Token...

E&V, Go on ebay or Google "Love Token".

They would presumably 'sand' off one side ( usually the reverse ) and then be able to engrave by hand whatever they wanted. They made them out of every coin type imaginable.

I'm sure I don't know off the top of my head. I'd have to count again. I should get a count of everything, including duplicates. Almost every time I find a small (or large) lot that has a couple I don't have there are at least a few if not several Kennedy and Masonic counterstamp duplicates. I'll see about getting a count later on today.

Edit: I did just scroll back to page 31 and found that back then I was at 400ish unique and maybe 900 total.
