Exoguy, once again you have given us a terrific historical thread about a counterstamp! I love reading what you come up with in your research.
The old article is especially a good reminder to stop and take a deep breath when angry, lest we do something we will regret.

Thanks again, guys, for the encouraging words and thoughts. Unless one delves into the meaning and history of the stampings, these pieces are naught but damaged coins. I'm continually intrigued about what I find and learn in this pursuit. I never seem to get bored or tire along this path.

"allow passion to become master of their reality.". Never more true than in current times.
Thanks for an outstanding post!

Looks like it turned out alright for William Pachard!
Not so much for William Allen ( listed below Pachard), 10 years for horse stealing! Different times. 3 years for manslaughter but 10 for horse stealing.

3 years for manslaughter but 10 for horse stealing Yeah, but horses were a necessity back then. Come to think of it, didn't some monarch once offer his kingdom for a horse?   |

"The homicide was accidental, and committed with a horsewhip."
Accidental horsewhip homicide? By a gunsmith?
I'm having almost a reverse Indiana Jones moment here . . .
