Hey Bob,

=20

Attached is the only NJ I own with a countermark on it. I can't tell from m=
y
crappy scan if it has the four dots between the letters but will check next
time I'm at the bank.

=20

Is there anything you can tell me about the countermark?

Thanks,

Clem

Attached are two images of a New Jersey copper that has been countermarked.
The images were sent to me by a fellow "coin silverware" collector. I have
probably seen 5-10 New Jersey coppers with this type of "large initial"
countermark. I explained to my friend that this is probably a blacksmith,
craftsman, or owner mark. This type of mark is often seen on antique tools=
.
I have a couple of countermarks in my collection that have the "four dots
between the letters", like this one has. It must have been a popular type
of early mark decoration.
