<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2713020, member: 22729&quot;]That&#039;s a nice counterstamp, AkFlip. It was issued by either Samuel Simpson, or his son Samuel L, both blacksmiths in Easton, Mass. The father was born in 1806 and his son in 1831, so the stamp was probably struck by the son. He was still listed in the 1870 issue of the <i>Bristol County Directory.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Your coin is only the second known example, the other being on an 1846 Large Cent. There&#039;s a second variety with the caption &quot;S. Simpson / Easton / Mass.&quot; known only on an 1850 Large Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can store it like any other good coin. I&#039;d put it in a 2x2 archival plastic flip with a paper insert. I would say a fair value for it would be $50 to $75, maybe a bit more. Thanks for posting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
