I'm late as always. Here is an 1882 Snow-6 with the digits in the pearls. I cherry picked this one but no longer own it.

It's a trifle late, but here's a counterstamped 1882 cent. Note that this counterstamp matches those on firearms, making the counterstamp a slam-dunk attribution. This C.F. ULRICH logo is the mark of Conrad F. Ulrich of New Haven, CT. He was a master engraver with the Winchester Rifle Company. Today, his artistically engraved rifles realize many thousands of dollars at auction. About ten of Conrad's stamped coins are known, of which this 1882 is the latest date thus far recorded. Note the placement of the stamps in the field. Conrad obviously respected Longacre's Indian and perhaps wanted her to appear as if she's speaking his name.   Here's an example of Conrad's engraving on a rifle that sold for $ 437,000!

Thanks, Jbuck! Like most counterstamps, it's not pretty. Yet, given some research, this one shares telling history.
