<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3283973, member: 22729&quot;]The Levis stamp is a good one Moe. I can&#039;t help you with the Large Cent variety, but I can help you a little with the counterstamp. </p><p><br /></p><p>As you mentioned, there are two styles of stamp used by Levis...sometimes spelled Lewis. There are about 15 examples on Large Cents, and another 30 or so on other copper and silver coins. The straight stamp seems more common than the curved ribbon stamp</p><p><br /></p><p>Your straight stamp shows the weakness of some of his issues. Apparently, he stamped coins for many years and some examples show die deterioration from overuse. Yours is a good example of that. The later issues using the ribbon stamp show crumbling on the left side as well. I have an example on a heavily worn Spanish 1-Real, but fortunately the counterstamp is sharply struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks foe posting yours, Moe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
