This style of counter stamping is one that I haven't seen before.It wipes the original stamped surface yet the opposite side remains fairly intact. I was surprised when I ran across my first coin like this too. I only have a couple of similar examples in my collection. Edited by chafemasterj

I posted one similar to this a few months ago. I like this one better. It's Abraham Lincoln in repousse on a LWC.  |

Thanks CelticKnot. They've had a chance to back up on me since I hadn't posted in six months or so. I will be back to new normal counter stamps soon.

Another really detailed 3D pressed LMC. It is a Masonic symbol that I have ran across and posted a few times in the past. Double Headed Eagle with a triangular shield with the number 32 on it...   Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

An 1898 IHC counter stamped with a United States Navy Anchor. The counter stamp might be in memory of the sinking of The USS Maine in February of that year. It's sinking is credited with being one of the events that brought us into the Spanish-American War... (feel free to read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_(1889). [The wikipedia date of 1889 is a type-o. It is supposed to be 1898.] Was an interesting read.  |

This doesn't look like a counter stamp. It actually looks as if someone engraved this into the LWC. I thought it looked like cattails or a closeup of a pussywillow...  |
