<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2396289, member: 22729&quot;]Thanks for getting back to us on the Eggleston scrip. I&#039;m not positive about the attribution, but it seems like a good bet at least.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as your counterstamps are concerned. Initial/s-only stamps are notoriously hard to attribute for obvious reasons. There are a few around, bur just a handful that have been identified. The &quot;RR&quot; stamp on the English 2-penny might be that of a Sheffield (or other city) cutler or edge tool maker. They commonly stamped their logos or marks on large coins like this. There is a fair amount of research done on these maker marks, so you might find something on line. I used to know a couple of sites that dealt with these, but have since lost the addresses. If you Google &quot;Sheffield cutlers&quot; or something similar you should find them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Tickner mark you say you have sounds familiar. If you could send a picture of both sides of the coin, I&#039;ll gladly look into it for you. I believe it might be spelled &quot;Ticknor&quot;, but I&#039;ll check it out. I did some research years ago on two brothers named Ticknor who were from Bridgeport, CT. This may be the same one that you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
