Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 7:25 pm Looks like a very heavy Shriner's counter punch. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 7:25 pm I don't recognize that counterstamp. People do collect them although they are not worth very much. Here are some more to look at:http://goccf.com/t/126486&whichpage=1 Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 7:36 pm I did a little searching and you will find the same symbol if you look up Mystic Shriners symbolism. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 10:46 pm The Shriners and Masons seem to be heavy-handed when counterstamping coins.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 04:48 am I agree with the others. Just a tip: crop pics before posting. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Boatlife Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 09:48 am John1 I did crop, but the more I crop the blurrier the pics get Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 11:08 am This is an unusual type of counterstamp. Rather than using a punch to impress the design on one side, the coin has actually been struck between two dies, a blank reverse die, and an obverse design with the design.

TheCoinDom Valued Member Belgium 186 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 2:35 pm Quote: pop outs Were the three 1903's made from real Barber coins? And do you actually own them? They surely look nice. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2018 2:49 pm I do not own them. I collected images from ebay several years ago. There are probably more listed on ebay. I just need a few images for my educational files. The reverses of the coins look just like the example above. Pushed through from the reverse, shaped by an obverse die(?) Not sure what they call it. Coin real on the watch fob? I'm not sure now. (years ago in the 20th century) Report this Post to the Staff
