chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 09:00 am This one is really cool but you're going to have to take my word that the words are really there. This is a 2009-P Lincoln Commemorative Cent. to the right of Lincoln's head is the entire Gettysburg Address laser etched. I can barely make out letters with my loupe but can't read anything. My USB microscope is MIA at the moment but the hunt is on... Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Remember we only have the real estate to the right of Lincoln's head to work with. A simple CC in the proper font might be enough.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 11:20 am Quote: A simple CC in the proper font might be enough. What font are you thinking? The cursive looking font at the top of the page where it says "Coin Community Family" might be ok. I'd like to do CCF maybe. But I think the above font would be to busy. I had a small branding iron made with my initials for branding spoons that I carve. All I gave them was a hand drawing of J and C intertwined and the iron has that exact image on it. Right down to the little Sharpie bleed at the beginning of the J. So any ideas you guys might have could be a photo of something you have written out on a piece of paper. It doesn't need to be an awesome computer rendering of CCF. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

You should see a diagonal CC using that font for the favicon on your browser tabs and bookmarks.

I'm sorry Jbuck but I don't see what your referring to. And what is the favicon? I'm mostly on my phone so I might not be looking at the same thing as some. Maybe?

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10051 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 7:30 pm How about CCF instead of just CC? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I wonder what font and arrangement could be done to fit next to Lincoln and not get to busy. It could be something just as simple as CCF at an angle from left top to right bottom.

It is set by the website and tells the browser what to display in the tabs and on the shortcuts. Quote: I'm mostly on my phone so I might not be looking at the same thing as some. Maybe Ah, that makes sense... It is to the left of the tab titles...

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 6:32 pm This is the first example I've found that Littleton Coin had made a counterstamp for a private company. Imperial Glass in Ohio. Ironically the only other private counter stamps I've ran across from Littleton are municipalities. Moundsville, WV; Wheeling, WV; Gettysburg, PA; Hershey, PA; Charleston, WV & Cass, WV. I just Googled them and they are still in business: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imp...lass_Company Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 02/02/2021 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
