wossip New Member United Kingdom 26 Posts	Posted 03/19/2018 06:28 am Does anyone know the significance of the counterstamp on my 1806 British Third-Guinea?(7 shillings). It seems to have an 'S' over a horse which is running right, over a numeral '5' on its side, with a dot below. All in a small ornate heart-shaped cartouche. Not just a casual stamp, I believe, but, in view of the amount of detail on so small a stamp, an official one. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 10:57 am I would also bet that it`s a silversmith`s hallmark stamp. Given the amount of detail and intricacy. Just what a craftsman would want their stamp to be. Post it here as well if you'd like: http://goccf.com/t/126486 There are some people there that know a lot about counterstamps.
