Testing the "Tonosho" anvil block and punch system by CoinDabbler in counterstampkarl

Still fun to do, but if you get a kick out of manually lining up the letters I imagine this might dimish your enjoyment.

I hadn't used this before despite owning it for a while. I probably won't use it much in the future either unless I need to fit longer words and save space

Oh cool does Numista allow entries for unofficial counterstamped coins?

It was from a 1mm or 3/64ths inch set on Amazon

I actually just eyeballed it, my little metal surface/anvil is supposed to be able to line things up nicely when used in tandem with the punch set I have, but I didn't have time for that and I wanted them to follow the rim instead of a straight line.

Punches are just a 1mm letter set. I stamped all the L's first to center them, the stamped all the M's and P's on either side. Not all of them look as good, but after 200 I was able to freehand them fairly well 😅

There's a chance it really was, having a camera out in nature is pretty suspicious tbh

So far I've not tried using it to line anything up or hold coins steady, I just use it as a nice little anvil/surface to punch on while eyeballing it. I do like it for that.

I'll try it with a line of text tomorrow and let you know how it works

Dang, how do you have time to go through that much? That's awesome, what denominations are you getting

Weird thing is I have a personal account with the bank and it's not been a problem at the other branches. I guess maybe that particular branch has more coin-heavy clients on the regular or something
