<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26657862, member: 86815&quot;]If the counterstamp is nice and even and in a oval or rectangle it could be a merchant or private bank to guarantee the quality of Silver as there was a shortage at this time. A potential candidate could be Milinthorpe Bank in Westmorland/Cumbria. Did you find it &quot;up North&quot;? If it is crudely stamped it could be a love token or family keepsake. Unless you were fairly well to do in 1787 a Shilling was a lot of money.&nbsp; A Soldier earned &quot; a Shilling a day&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
