Counterstamp Experts - Do you recognize this 19th C. counterstamp style?

STONE

To give you a proportion, the planchet is Half-Dollar size, so the letter's/number's are fairly large.
If you recognize the punch size and/or style, please let me know, and showing an example for comparison would be quite helpful.
It's on a Brassey-colored planchet (not stamped onto a real coin)...I will reveal the other side in a bit

Thanks

I don't like the color, or the sharpness of the letterpunches. Sorry. What does the reverse look like?

The good captain must have punched that one himself.

That's a possibility...and I never thought of that...but when you see what's on the other side I'm less inclined to think that way...but it could still be true!

Looks like a Civil War dog tag. At the time they weren't standard issue and soldiers had to buy or make their own. Be carefull---they are very popular with Civil War collectors and there are many modern fakes in the marketplace where an old coin is planed down and are punched with old punch sets.

Looks like it was recently done. Is Chuck E. Cheese on the other side?
