<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1719818, member: 22729"]This is a well known counterstamp Brian. Although its been on record for many years noone's been able to attribute it that I know of. Its designated F-21 by Greg Brunk and appears on at least 20 coins, nearly all being Large Cents. I have an example in my collection also on a Large Cent. The interesting thing about this initials-only stamp (which I don't usually collect) is the fact that there's only a single point on the right side of the depression as opposed to two points on the left. (Unusual). Also the bottom of the "J" at the turn has a "heal" or spike. I've never seen this style before and could be potentially important in an attempt to attribute it. If a documented stamp surfaced with either or both of these characteristics then the maker of this one might be identified. Great piece Brian. Thanks for showing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
