Message:: [QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1775976, member: 22729"]The B.C. Hoff stamps are well known there being about 50 examples documented...none on gold coins. About half of them are on S/L Quarters, the rest on Large Cents, dimes , and other odd coins. It's funny you mention Hoff Mike as I just picked up a new variety of his stamp a week or two ago. It had a second stamp ("L.F. Hunt") added some time later and is previously unknown. While both men are separately listed in Brunk, this is the first time they've appeared together on a coin. As I always do with any new piece I pick up, I researched Hunt to see if I could find a connection between the two men but, unfortunately, I couldn't. Counterstamps on gold coins are rare and usually valuable well beyond their bullion value. I'd love to see a picture of the coin if you did in fact buy the bracelet. I might be able to tell you a little more about it if you could provide a decent picture. There is some known history on Hoff, but Hunt is still an unknown. I've expanded a bit of what's known about Hoff through my research but I can't even make an educated guess as to who Hunt was. I'm still looking. Bruce[/QUOTE]
