<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2877741, member: 22729&quot;]I haven&#039;t added a silversmith counterstamp to my collection in some time, so picked up this one off of eBay a week or so ago. I overpaid for it, but so far this is the only example of a Roath counterstamp known on a coin. Unfortunately, I can&#039;t make out the date even under strong magnification.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was issued by Roswell Walston Roath, a Norwich, Ct. silversmith c1820s / 1840s. He later removed to Denver, and what was then the Colorado Territory. The stamp would probably date back to his days in Connecticut. Not a lot of copper circulated in the west in those days, so if was struck while he were in Colorado it would likely be on a silver coin. Despite the condition of the coin, the stamp is very clear and makes for a nice look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]689028[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
