<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2111238, member: 22729&quot;]Counterstamps appeal to me, physics-fan, because of the issuer&#039;s known history, or for the fun of researching them. It&#039;s very satisfying to be able to put a &quot;face&quot; to a stamped name or slogan on a coin. Almost like you&#039;ve brought someone back into focus who&#039;ve been largely forgotten by history. </p><p>BTW, the issuer of this coin was most likely a man named David E. Sizer, a merchant in Victor, NY in the 1850s and 1860s. Apparently, a man who made few waves during his life, but at least now has gotten a measure of recognition. That&#039;s good enough for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
