Counterstamped Large Cent and buttons.

[Scrappy]

I was able to get out for 3 hours today. Did 1.5 hrs recon (a flop), and 1.5 hrs at an old spot. I squeaked out a largie and a few buttons. I have some other finds, but the wife forced me out to a holiday party and now I'm one the piss, as they say. Maybe tomorrow.




Enjoy and best of luck to everyone.

Great return on a 90 minute investment-I like the large cent. Any ideas about the button with the eagle on it?

Great hunt man. A LC with a counterstamp is a killer find man. When you mentioned it to me, I had no idea it was counterstamped. Time well spent.

 

[BTV Digger]

Gotta love any counterstamped coin. Any clue who C.C. Dyer was? Congrats sir.

Congrats on the unique old copper

Great counter stamped coin. It gives it a lot of character.

Nice hunt, I liked your video, I can't remember to try and when I do it always seems to turn out to be a horse tack buckle or a matchbox car, lol. I have not found a counter-stamped coin yet. Sorry for your holiday schedule, keep digging, your a good little researcher!

C.C. DYER (TC-265975) New York, New York (New York County), U.S.A.

Token Catalog lists him as a New York County, New York Saw filer and tool maker. There have been a number of C. C. Dyer counterstamped large cents and other coins found.

1825 Capped Bust Dime, Counterstamped C.C. Dyer, New York City ca. 1840s - Tokens and Political Items - ARCHIVE

"C.C. DYER on 1825 JR-4 dime. Brunk D-647, Rulau HT-E259A. Rarity-8. Stamp Very Fine, coin Very Good or so. An attractively marked early Capped Bust dime that crossed paths with New York City saw filer and tool maker Charles C. Dyer, who was working at 510 Greenwich Street in the 1840s, just about two blocks from the current location of the American Numismatic Society. While Brunk records a fair number of large cents with the C.C. DYER stamp, he lists just two dimes: an 1825 (presumably this one) and an 1833. The surfaces are lightly toned silver gray, showing some minor hairlines but pretty nice for the grade."

Great research David!

Nice outing Steve, cool counter-stamped LC and what's the top right button?

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Nice finds! Good job a squeaking out a few keepers in such short time!

 

[Loco-Digger]

You Da Man Steve, awesome finds for a short 90 minute hunt Being counter stamped makes that coin a terrific find, better than any old run of the mill LC in my book.

 

[against the wind]

Some sweet finds. The Counterstamped L.C. is really a great find.
Congratulations

 

[WHADIFIND]

Excellent finds! Did you notice how that large cent literally dove right back in the hole? It's what I've been saying all along. These things we find do not WANT to be found! They are professional hiders! So, you better get that thing put into something to hold it or it will surely find a way to get back into hiding!

Nice!

Nice hunt. Nice counterstamped LC. The amount of LC's you guys find up north is insane. We just dont find em down here in the south.

Great return on a 90 minute investment-I like the large cent. Any ideas about the button with the eagle on it?

I believe that eagle button is a WW1 US Navy. It looks alot like one i have dug a while back. Got really excited until i got home and found it in Alberts book.

Thx Glen. I haven't had a chance to look up the button, but I'm fairly confident it's 20th century army.

Edit: look above this post

When I sent you a pic, I hadn't soaked it yet. The counterstamp just appeared from behind the dirt. Cool right?

Great counter stamped coin. It gives it a lot of character.

It certainly makes it stand out from the other matron coppers. It's actually my first counterstamp with a name. The rest were numbers or symbols.

Thanks Brad. I have a lot of videos of me digging up crap.

Excellent info! Thanks so much!!

Great history

Very cool large cent!
I am a sucker for counterstamps and one that's known has to carry some weight!
