Message:: [QUOTE="BRandM, post: 2207043, member: 22729"]I checked out the Buel piece and the other four, Rich. All are unlisted. The only value to the "TK" (?) counterstamp would be to someone who collects Connecticut coppers, so I have no idea to its value. The "(Flower)" and Star (?) would be of minimal value as well. The flower is probably from a punch used by a metal craftsman (coppersmith, tinsmith, etc.) to mark his products. The star may be from a tool rather than a purposeful punch. The "D. Holden" is more interesting. Although it would be very difficult to attribute, the italic style of the lettering and the host coin are appealing. The hole doesn't distract much, as it's small and neatly drilled. The coin was likely a personal piece worn by Holden on his clothing or suspended on a chain around his neck. This one I would guess to be worth about $75, possibly $100. Bruce[/QUOTE]
