Found a small tribe!
by baggerman » Wed Oct 03, 2012 6:54 pm
Went through 3 of the 4 the bags I picked up last week. First two had about 45% copper and 42 wheats between the two bags, this is what we found in the 3rd bag.

I'd be happy with 45% Cu,
7 IHC's is awesome!

BULLY!
You need to research that counterstamped one.
That might be a serious home run!

If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I agree with Thogey! I have a 1987 edition of Brunk (standard guide for counterstamped coins) and your counterstamp wasn't listed. Steve Hayden is a dealer who's into counterstamps--he may be able to help. You can Google him to locate his web site. Does someone have a newer edition of Brunk that may list this counterstamp? I'm going to guess that it is worth more than a normal 1863 cent.

I tried to google the company but no luck. I would be grateful for any info on it.

Steve Hayden's website is www.civilwartokens.com. I'm sure if you email him a photo he could tell you something about your counterstamped coin. I've dealt with him and he's a great guy.

There seems to have been a G. W. Peeler in North Carolina in the late 19th century circa 1870 going into the early 20th century, associated with metal works. Might be a good research starting point.

Thanks I sent him an email with a pic of just the one coin.

Got a reply from Steve on the counterstamped penny.
"Sorry I have no information on that one. Cast Steel is a fairly common with counterstamps of this period. I would guess is has a retail value of around $50 or so. More if you can figure out who issued it. You might try the internet through Google or an genealogical site. Steve"
I am pretty stoked!
