[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2178423, member: 29458"]I`m not being belligerent. When a one hit wonder comes here and says "attributed to Isaac Sanford (1763-1842)." without any proof whatsoever and no similar marks are attributed to said silversmith. The OP is in the UK, the coin has probably never been to the US, it is quite common to see old silver coins marked in this way, there are still thousands of them about, as AF said more of a silversmiths test punch rather than deliberate defacing.[/QUOTE]
