Recently committed to this piece from JK.
Same punch as used on his doubloons! IMO this is a great value.

True, but does kinda have the colonial money aspect to it.

Reminds me of paul Revere and old colonial coinage and currency
Nice old silver... I have never been lucky enough to find pieces such as these. Cheers, RickO
Most of us haven’t. They are extremely rare.

Brasher was a regulator, as was William Hollingshead.
Both counterstamped coins, passing them for commerce.
In 2014 I was lucky to find a spoon by Hollingshead.

Here’s a link explaining some of it:

My Hollingshead spoon and mark, the same very punch used to regulate coins I estimate my spoon was made c.1760-70 in Philadelphia. A very cool example of colonial American silver.

And a link showing Hollingshead’s mark on a coin:

I found all this out after buying my spoon. A very cool little bonus to simply picking up an early spoon.
