<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1557593, member: 22729&quot;]Just got your p/m Siggi. The &quot;Chapin&quot; stamp you have isn&#039;t the one Deteco suggests, for no other reason than it&#039;s far too big for a watchmaker. Watchmakers, jewelers and silversmiths typically had smaller marks because they generally stamped small objects. There are a number of Chapins listed in the references but none like yours, so it&#039;s probably unique...and valuable. Any stamp on a Bust Dollar would bring good money, even though parts of yours is weakly struck. Not only is there interest from counterstamp collectors, but some from Bust Dollar collectors who might not be able to afford one without the stamp. Great coin Siggi. Thanks for showing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
