John C. DeWyell of Livonia, NY secured patent # 34,418 on May 28, 1890. His invention was an industrial style cutting tool, called a circular buttress. Here are the specs ... https://books.google.com/books?id=0...ll%22&f=trueThere's an 1888 ad that appeared in The Livonia Gazette for DeWyell's Chisel-Tooth Saw. Looks like he was a blacksmith, turned cutler and/or toolmaker. Born about 1837, he died in 1918. I wrote about this one before .... found a bit more now, it seems. Edited by ExoGuy

Won this counterstamped (but harshly cleaned) 1863 CN Indian Head cent for 99 cents today. The obverse has JAG and the reverse has HN or NH.

I think I have something similar to a coin someone else posted on the bottom of page 12 of this thread. It is also a 1876 S half dollar with a "W" counterstamped on the obverse. However, on my coin the is no preceding period, and the mark is located on the right side not the left.

 to the CCF, MachoWin. Cool coin site, this is. Looks like you have a maverick counterstamp there. I don't see any meaning being attached to a single letter like that. When it comes to counterstamps, look for names, especially uncommon names with initials and/or a first name. Addresses and/or occupations add to the desirability for commectors of these. By attaching meaning, knowledge to these counterstamped coins, value is then increased. Also, generally try to avoid counterstamps that were applied with individual letters, wherein the letters are misaligned. My avatar is a good example of a more worthy counterstamp. It's the mark of Lemuel Pomeroy, an early gunsmith. This counterstamp matches the marks seen on his firearms. |

to the CCF, Coopertron5000 .... My guess is that your W W will forever remain an unattributable maverick. My guess is that it's someone's initials, flanking King George in the field. The letter style looks to be early 1800's to my eye. It's possibly a whimsical one-of-a-kind stamping. |

I guess we'll never know, but I think someone's initials is most likely. |
