and another c/s this time a 1830 50c w/known maker

Realone

The maker of this example (Ex: Henry Hilgard) H. Sage is listed in Brunk as S-88 where it states :" This silversmith worked around 1840 but his location has not been verified. Known for an 1806 half dollar". The Overton # is O-101 R-1.

I believe the current thought may be that this is Henry Sage (1793-1865), born in NY and worked in Circleville, Ohio.
On the silverware examples I checked, his maker's mark had a wavy border and did not have the period between H and S (his watch paper had the period, though).

Astro,
the last time I bought an entire collection also of approx. 25 coins I was asked not to post them all in one thread by many here, so I listened to the critique given me and changed my ways. Sorry I can't satisfy you, but you may be in a small minority along with me. >>

I was just kidding you ... hence the winky emoticon.
