@Exo, it's been treated with Verdi-Care since these pictures were taken, I just didn't bother to re-photo it.

Here's a counterstamped 1860 cent, marked SCHWINGEL / ERIE, PA. The name Schwingel is a most uncommon one. Researching this piece many years ago, I learned that there was but one family by that name in the Erie, PA area, during the 1860's. Charles P. Schwingel and his younger brother, Philip C., worked as gunsmiths, following the Civil War. Apparently, their business failed, as they were working as farmers in nearby Kearsarge in 1873-74; this, per the Gazetteer & Business Directory for Erie County.

To date, I have seen no other examples of this counterstamp which was unlisted by Brunk or Rulau. I am hopeful of someday seeing this counterstamp on a firearm.

As recorded in a History of Erie County (page 666), the Schwingel brothers played out a tragic story in 1880. Fueled by alcohol, younger brother, Philip, shot and killed Charles. Below is the excerpt describing the sad event ...

Here's a counterstamped 1861 cent. This COURT MYERS stamp was long a maverick issue, listed by both Brunk and Rulau. Eight specimens of this issue have been recorded, with 1879 being the latest date. Likely, "Court" Myers used his coins to promote his later photography business.

I found him, Eugene Van Court Myers, listed in the 1870 census, living in Auburn, NY and working as a stencil cutter. Newspaper articles about his, "Court" Myers' photographs led me to realize that he used a nickname. He'd been seriously wounded in the war and was handicapped. he developed talent as a photographer and sold many of his images for use on postcards. He later moved to Germantown, NY. His photographs were taken in central NY and along the Hudson. His skill was even called upon by Teddy Roosevelt and family.

Pictured below is one of Court's stencils. Note his name in the following close-up pic.

Here's a discharge, muster roll listing for Court. He served in the NY 125th Infantry as a private. Note that his wounded, left arm was rendered "useless."

Exo, that's pretty amazing. If the dates are accurate (June 23 1864) the 125th NY VIR was attached to II Corps at that time and saw action on those days at Jerusalem Plank Road (VA) during the Petersburg siege. (If anyone wants to know more about that, let me know!)

Here's a counterstamped 1862 cent, reading L. BIGGIO; this, being a rare surname. One Lawrence Biggio was listed in the 1886-7 Chicago Business Directory as having a saloon at 30 Randolph Street.

Interestingly, the 1863-64 Chicago City Directory lists one "Lorence Biggie" having a saloon at 36 W. Madison, also his home address. He may have been the father of the aforementioned Lawrence (Americanized spelling). Three coins bearing this counterstamp have been recorded, and more may exist. Given that the latest date host coin is dated 1864, these could be Civil War vintage counterstamps. The Brunk number is B-658.
