I've seen that counterstamp before - in fact someone has one listed online somewhere - Rendel Ingram possibly.

Anyway, more of a "Lloyds of London" man myself....

I have a Lloyds C/S penny at home. Different C/S than yours though.

I believe I have further information on these C/S coins at home. I will look for it when I return (hopefully this Friday

)

Cool, I'd love to know more.

Sell it to Blue Moon. He'll look it up in that book he's reading, and resell it as "the earliest New Penny extant".
