<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1779223, member: 22729&quot;]Thanks for the pictures Mike. The stamp is pretty well struck and doesn&#039;t show very much if any of the punch deterioration I&#039;ve seen on some examples. Hoff must have struck many pieces as there are so many extant.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;d love to know the story of how his coin made its way into a bracelet that was obviously manufactured years after his time. Certainly one of the most interesting counterstamps I&#039;ve ever run into.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, have you noticed any other maker&#039;s marks anywhere on the bracelet? It would be interesting to be able to trace it to the manufacturer. Add a little more to an already fascinating story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I doubt I could match an offer made by Dave Bowers but it sure is nice to have a picture of it just the same. Thanks again Mike.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
