Cool RPD! Too bad it's not counterstamped!

Here's a counterstamped 1865 cent. This tiny STERLING mark was likely applied by a silversmith andor jeweler. It was used on silver products to denote a 0.925 fineness.

Here's a counterstamped 1866 cent. I've yet to identify the issuer, B. STURGES. It's a curved mark that was strategically placed in the field, facing the Indian. The placement is similar as such to the Dr. G.G. Wilkins' counterstamps. I suspect it may have been a patent mark. As it's the only one reported, it was not likely intended to advertise. This maverick isn't pretty, but it has long roused my curiosity!
