<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1012781, member: 22729&quot;]The 1829 counterstamp on the obverse is a small eagle, probably applied by a gunmaker, locksmith, or another metal worker. This particular counterstamp is seen in many styles and sizes, and is relatively common. Nevertheless, it&#039;s still a nice stamp, though weakly struck. I can&#039;t tell what the reverse stamps are, but are probably two more eagles like the one on the obverse. The only way that they would add value to the coin, rather than detracting from it, would be if the maker had &quot;signed&quot; his piece. If he were found to be a well known gunsmith for instance, it would increase the value quite a bit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;O&quot; in one was destroyed when the counterstamp was applied as far as I can tell from the picture. Nice group of coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
