<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1016103, member: 22729&quot;]Nice token USMoneylover. I&#039;m not familiar with the counterstamp, and it&#039;s not listed in any reference I have. It appears as though the stamp was added sometime after the 1864 date on the piece. The style of the lettering is not typically found on Civil War-era stamps. It&#039;s not a prepared stamp, each letter having been punched seperately, so it may very well be unique. Counterstamps on Civil War tokens are relatively rare, so you have a nice find there.... Now, if we could only figure out who Becker was!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You might want to contact the Civil War Token Society at <a href="http://www.cwtsociety.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cwtsociety.com" rel="nofollow">www.cwtsociety.com</a>. They may be able to help you. I think it was $8 well spent. Congrats!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
