It hit 104 yesterday and 106 today. the only thing I did was a little mechanic's work, I put a rear end in my recliner!:laughing7:

I found this on another site. It explains the counterstamped coins better than I can. In the 19th Century, especially from about the 1820's to the 1880's it was a common practice to counterstamp coins for any number of reasons. Sometimes businessmen did so to advertise their business...

One of my favorite coins would be this 1825 or 35 half cent with my first two initials stamped in it.

I like the counter stamped coin and the point is nice as well. Can you make out the date on the coin?

How big is your creek. How deep is the water? Most creeks here in south Georgia are about 30 feet wide at the most and the water ranges from 3-15 feet deep. In some areas during the dry season it can be less than one foot deep. The hard pan is usually less than a foot under the mud and sand.

Good on both you and JVA5th.

50 Streamliner, straight 8 and 3 speed manual transmission. It is driveable but needs a lot of work.

There is a period before the S and it looks like the remnants of a letter, maybe M before that period.

Did you post this button on a Facebook group? If so post that back picture here. It is much more legible. Looks like S & J ? ? Treble Gilt Stand Col to me.

Are there any marks on the bottom? Many potters make miniatures.

Try shining a light from the different angles, even from the side, to see if you can read more. Or take a picture in daylight but not direct sunlight. The lettering in the outer ring looks like "Stand:Col: ????". That probably means standard color or colour if it is British.

Well, that was clear as mud! Is there an English translation?

This one looks very similar to yours. https://waterburybutton.com/product/two-anchors-3/
