USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 1:15 pm Found this counter stamp half. The coin is spray painted gold. The stamp says 1960 to 1980. Any idea what this might specify? Edited by USSID18 01/12/2018 1:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 1:28 pm 1960 was the year of his election (even though he didn't officially take office until 1961); 1980 is obviously the 20th anniversary of that. More than that, I can't say. Report this Post to the Staff

More than that, I can't say. That's more then what I knew. I never would have but those two dates together for that. Maybe his birth and death anniversary. Who knows. Thanks!

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 09:13 am I have seen an old advertisment from back when they were originally selling them and that was the explanation given in the ad, election and what would have been the 20th anniversary. They can also be found with 1960 and 1985 dates for the 25th anniversary. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 10:02 am @USSID18, very nice pick-up, although most likely gold plated rather than spray-painted gold. There are lots of threads with these posted in the past at CCF. Here are a couple to learn more: http://goccf.com/t/82919 http://goccf.com/t/20006 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 10:21 am Thanks Spence! You know, I was wondering about that finish. You're right, it doesn't look like spray-paint. The finish is much to smooth. Thanks for the links, let me go in and digest them. Report this Post to the Staff
