Alright alright alright,

I think I went a little overboard yesterday taking photos of some of my collection. Anyways, here is a link to my current Counter stamped collection. At the moment it's all pennies but I'm pretty happy with them.

I'm proud to say that I found all of these and more over the years of sorting. Probably not all that valuable but a neat little extra from this hobby.

Enjoy!

nice collection.
I've only found about 4 and two of them are cross cut outs.

Those are nice! I like the moon landing one

There are two up, and both are in my top 5. The states are nice but not really all that exciting.

We like the bunny Franklin found.

Nice. That's a great one. That would be one of my top picks as well.

Nice collection. I've always thought these are pretty cool. I've only found five or six myself (so far).

Merc,

If you are machine sorting your copper cents. you probably have a larger collection then you think. Though I will agree these aren't exactly common finds.

JOB, what is that 6th row, center? GIM = Gold is Money?

I believe it's GLM, and that was stamped on both sides, but I don't know the meaning.

Cool collection. Love the WV cent. Still hunting mine

I find that almost all counter stamps appear on the obverse. Which makes looking for them a pain. Most were found while I was pouring into the sorter. The states seem to be the most common.

Personally I'd like to find one with a Free Mason stamp.

I have found a bunch of counter stamped cents and JFK has been the most common for me. My favorite is the signing of the declaration of independance.

I have one... but I bet you would like to FIND one...

Wow bman that's a nice one too.

Yes Uth, I'd like to find them all. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I found a New Mexico one this week. My daughter thought it was SOOOO cool, so tonight I am looking around to see all the counter-stamped coins I can find in various places in my coin room... pics when I can get them all together on the scanner.

This month I found Maine, Arizona, and my home turf, Connecticut. The CT is stamped onto a zinc 1982, which is the newest of all the States I've seen. I had previously thought these were done in the 1970's

Here we go.

Closeup of the 1825 cent:

Some neat finds.

I have no idea what the 1825 cent stamp was...

My dad found a Delaware state quarter with PELOSI (in red) and a arrow (black) pointing to the horses ass

I liked the wwjd and the angel one

Added a Half counter stamped page, http://xxjobiiixx.blogspot.com/p/counter-stamped-half-dollars.html

Will also make one for nickels, though I've really found very few non-penny counter stamped coins.

Sweet! I have found several myself but can't for the life of me figure out how to get decent pics.. and I actually have a good camera but the operator is a techie idot....
