Jerry Parker Silver Art Bar Stamp Reproduction

I am looking for anyone that could give me information about silver art bar stamp reproduction fron Jerry parker ... minted in the late 60's early 70's ... he must have done around 27 different items.

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

I'd be surprised if you find anybody here with much knowledge of these. But a quick Google turned up this:

Maybe it will give you a lead to pursue.

Honestly, I would be surprised if those are worth more than spot silver price and would just get melted down. I see no premium for the stamp art.

Here's a period newspaper article on the subject dating back to 1970:

It appears that in 1972, the company Jerry Parker, Ltd., moved its distribution in the US to Ohio under the name of "United States Numistamp" due to import duties and mailing complications:

Thank you all for your precious information ... I know that these reproductions aren't valuable but they are quite attractive as collectable items. I did not know that Parker did move to the US ... interesting fact. I have been able to gather 25 units (based on Canadian stamps) so far at a cheap price ... as tou said ... these have not much $ value. As far as I know, I am still missing at least 2 of them ... and these would be US stamps reproduction : one the "Frigaye constitution 3c" and the other the "Washington credo" .... If ever anyone could help me to get them ... I would appreciate. Good Holliday season to everyone !! Pierre

Hi!, many months ago you answered one of my investigation about silver stamps reproduction from Jerry Parker. I did appreciate it very much and this helped me to get further in my search for these silver and bronze stamps. In your comments, you did say that you had received from Jerry a sort of publicity ... do you have in your possession that publicity and or any other thing referring to Mr. Parker that I could have if you would like to get rid off. I would not mind to buy it from you if you'd like.

By the way, I am still missing the Louisiana statehood and the Washington credo replica in B&S. So far I did find all others.

Thank you for your consideration

I am glad to see another fellow philatelist/collector of these unique pieces by Jerry Parker. I only have 9 of the pieces so far, have not avidly hunted them down, but accumulated over the years here and there. There are also other metal stamp replicas out there that I have come across as well (i.e. 1976 Montreal Olypics) and have always added these to my "paraphanelia" shelf/collection. I have never seen a Jerry Parker U.S. silver stamp, but will keep my eyes open. Good Luck !!

I have a modest collection, 40 or so of metal stamps done in the 80's.

Thank you for those that have let me know that they have some interest into the metal (silver or copper) stamp replicas, particularly those made by Jerry Parker in the 70's - 80's ... As I said earlier ... I am still missing only few of the one that I know of.

Particularly these are the US 4c Washington credo and the 4c Louisiana statehood, both having been issued in silver and in copper.

If anyone have any of them or come across them ... I would be interested by any means to include them into my collection.

You all know how it is ... when you get into something ... you like to finish it and start on something else !!

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you all !!

Hi! guys, since my last post I found many more metal (silver or bronze) stamps replica made by Jerry Parker. From what I read from the articles that you suppled to me earlier and others that I found later there are still very few that I am looking for. The replica of the 4c Washington credo and the 4c Louisiana statehood stamps.

While finding the one's missing I ends up having many double ... if any body wants any let me know, particularly if you have the ones I am looking for.

Sorry, was not on here for a while now and I don't get notifications like other sites, so just stumbled back on here.
Pierre, sorry but I have not come across your missing pieces. I have found another 7 for my collection, but I am still far from complete.
I will keep my eyes open though. If you want to send me a list of your doubles, please go ahead.

Hi ! Dartviking ... thank you for ypur interest into the topic of Jerry Psrker work of reproduction of Canadian stamps (and few US) in silver and in bronze or copper ... I have many doubles ... If I can help you to enlarge your collection I will be happy to do so. Also, if you could have some of my missing items it would be very nice. I would be nice if we could communicate directly.

Sorry, forum rules require 50 posts before members can email others. This rule is for safety reasons and has served the community well for many years.

Hi!again ... Five years ago I did put my first question on this forum inquiring about silver and copper (brass) stamp replicas made by Jerry Parker. So far all of you have been of a great help for me to advance my knowledge about his beautifull work and of the completion of my collection. Still I am looking for any other information that is available as well as any possibility to put my hands on what I think is still my only missing peace ... the replica of the US 4c Louisiana statehood in silver and un copper ! Anyone can still be of any help ?
