<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1888215, member: 22729"]Brunk lists this one in his book as S-41 jester just in case you don't have access to a copy. They're not attributed to anyone yet but he feels it may be a silversmith's hallmark. It looks a bit big to me for that purpose but he may be right. Who ever issued it, it's very old. As of now only five examples are known, three on Large Cents (1794, 1803, unknown date) one on an 1813 Half Dollar, and another on a 1799 Silver Dollar. Yours may be the one he lists as "unknown date" or it may be a sixth example. In any case, it's a nice classic early American counterstamp.</p><p>BTW jester, when you get the coin in-hand could you look at the mark above the counterstamp for any kind of design. It may be that someone just tried to hole the coin, but it could also be a small punch of some sort. Just curious. Thanks for posting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
