<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1005541, member: 22729&quot;]The &quot;J. Paul&quot; counterstamp is the one I just won on Steve Hayden&#039;s auction. The top left pic is the &quot;reverse&quot; of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;J.S.B &amp; Son&quot; is the mark Of John Starr Blackman, a Danbury, CT silversmith and his son Frederick. Frederick succeeded his father in the business in about 1840. This coin was probably stamped about 1835-1840</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;AA / J.A. Needham&quot; piece is a maverick. Brunk lists &quot;J.A. Needham&quot; (without the &quot;AA&quot;) as N-56, but has no information in regard to who Needham might be. The chance of finding his identity is slim.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good grief, these pictures really came out big. Anybody know how I can downsize them a bit?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
