<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1262365, member: 22729&quot;]As always, thanks for a great presentation Clinker. This one is especially interesting to me because I&#039;ve noticed this many times on 19th century counterstamped coins. Although many different die sinkers cut punchs to stamp coins, unlike &quot;official issues&quot; where there have been a relative few, the numerous varities do present a large number of&nbsp;&nbsp; interesting styles of lettering and presentation. Some letters have a distinctive look that gives a researcher a clue to who may have made a particular punch. Of course the makers of mint issues are well documented and presents little challenge to someone interested in such things. In contrast, when trying to attribute counterstamps to a maker these small clues can be invaluable. It&#039;s interesting that you took note of the differences and shared your observations with us on the forum. Thanks again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
