<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3161862, member: 22729&quot;]It&#039;s a counterstamp like Pickin and Grinin says, King George.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what it means, if anything. The stamp is much newer than the coin, but still appears to be old. It could be a brand, but I&#039;m thinking it probably isn&#039;t. A brand suggests a western origin, possibly territorial, and the few legitimate western issues I&#039;ve seen...including California Gold Rush pieces...are always struck on silver or gold coins. Silver and gold were king out there, plus these old Large Cents just didn&#039;t circulate out west. Having said all that, I know nothing about brands, so who knows. If it were, it would increase the coin&#039;s value though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
