Anyone collect coins with advertising marks?

I saw this and was thinking of picking them up if the price remains low. Anyone else collect stuff like this? By the way, there's some serious ghosting on the 1917 penny

Yeah ! now we know what means ghosting

I Like the "PEARS SOAP" counterstamped 10 centime coin; the others are mostly junk IMO.

I found this online:
Brunk P-287. In his 2003 catalog Gregory Brunk writes: " ....in 1884 the company stamped 250,000 continental bronze coins, mostly French five and ten centimes, and put them into circulation in Britain. This part of their advertising campaign was so extensive that Pears Soap became a very well known public pest."

The 1917 penny is a "vice job".

Pears' even had their own "cyclopaedia". On coinage see p. 355.

​Thanks for that. I kind of like the Guernsey one too.
