I have the same 1857 J.A.HARPER Flying Eagle penny. I purchased it at a book store about 45 years ago.


May I ask in what city and state your J.A. HARPER c/s was found? Kentucky, perchance?

Here's a similarly placed counterstamp, also on a higher grade FE Cent. One John R. Mackay was listed as a silversmith in the 1848 NY City directory. A John R. Mackay, Jr. served as a 2nd Lieutenant in Company I of the 2nd Regiment of the New Haven National Guard. Perhaps, Junior was the son of the silversmith who had maybe moved to New Haven? I've yet to make a positive attribution on this piece.

A nice example. I hope one day you can get a solid attribution.

Michigan is where this one came from.

Looks like your J.R.Mackay got punched twice. Maybe a bounce.
