<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 3258370, member: 22729&quot;]You know, Jeff, from the look of the stamp, I think you may have a merchant token rather than a religious piece. I&#039;ve seen so many of these old coppers with tradesman&#039;s name stamped on them. This one resembles many that I&#039;ve come across.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pious could be a surname and the maker&#039;s mark applied to his products. Just using the surname wouldn&#039;t be unusual. Sometimes they had several individual stamps with other information on them...trade, city, etc. Possibly a cutler or tool maker. You might want to give it a try on Google and see if anything comes up. Thanks for posting it,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
