[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 2087365, member: 22729"]Good to hear from you again, Jeff. It's been awhile. This really is an interesting portrait stamp. The profile isn't familiar to me and, unfortunately, i can't make out enough of the letters to make even a decent guess as to what it says. Who ever it represents seems to have a goatee or beard and short hair, sticking up slightly in the front. As you say, it is as old as the coin or nearly so because of the wear patterns. Probably an English political or military hero of the day. Your guess of Prince Albert is worth looking into, but I don't get the sense that it's him.He being stamped over the bust of Victoria would make sense though. I'll look into it. BTW, you asked for my address or email...don't remember which...awhile back. I sent it to your personal email address but I'm not sure you ever got it. Some messages I've sent in the past have gone to spam. I think you were going to send me something but I don't remember what it was. In any case, if you need any of my contact information, please send me a P/M. Thanks for your input on my counterstamp. Stay in touch. Bruce[/QUOTE]
