This handsome fella wasn't very expensive, but I like the uniqueness of the "J" counterstamp. I need to find another one like this so that I will have a full jbuck in silver!

(There are a Buffalo nickel and a 2 cent piece with "J" counterstamps listed on ebay, but 7 cents of a jbuck isn't going to get us to a full jbuck anytime soon...)

You never know... also, 52Raymo, I wish I had thought of that one before you... you win the Internet, good sir :)

I graded it Good-6 details and will write its denomination on a 2x2 as "0.50 J$"

That way some generation after mine will spend awhile pondering what, exactly, a J$ is...

Food for thought: a half JBuck would still have more posts than anyone on this forum except @coop.

This is most excellent!

Whatever you paid, it was not enough.

After using some leftover ebay bucks, the exchange rate worked out to 1/2 jbuck = $7.37.

Only half a jbuck? I need to make another one with a junk Seated Half I have. All I need is a counterstamp that says "buck", and we'll soon have a full $J.
