<p>[QUOTE="aokart, post: 3247089, member: 99606"]Hello all, I dug this coin close to a very old Tavern called the Blue Anchor located in Winslow NJ. There are references that state that the land was cleared in mid 1720s. The coin was found in what I believe to be a lumberjack encampment in the vast field. Nine coins in total, all from the 1720s except for this coin.

Researching known counter marks, and hallmarks the only one I found that matches the font with a crown was John Coney earl silversmith in Boston. I realize there is no counter mark that matches his many listed silver hallmarks but that makes sense to me that he would have a die specifically made for this purpose. Would look forward to any light anyone could shed on this counter stamped coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
