Had the day off so I took my 3 year old to the farmers market. Beautiful day today so the place was packed. I was in search of coins and silver and my son cars and choo-choos
My son hit first with matchbox dump truck for 50 cents. I found quite a bit of 90% including a roll of barber quarters for 12x face. But my favorite piece was this one. I ponied up $25 for this. I did not even haggle on the price. Oh and my son found his Thomas stuff as were getting ready to leave. 3 brand new trains and 2 playsets for $40. Which is a bargain if know how much these are in the stores.

Hobday, A.
Daguerreian, 14 East Main Street, Norfolk, Va., 1859-1860. He was listed in partnership as Burwell and Hobday; he boarded in Portsmouth. This is probably the same as "J. Hobday", imprinted in a daguerreian case. Information corrected to November, 1997; © 1996, 1997 John S. Craig

Congratulations on some good shopping!
Thanks for the replies. I was pretty happy finding this today. I had to tell someone because all I got from my wife was a whatever.
Sorry Gregg she is a keeper. I sold another counterstamp at Baltimore and I have been regretting it ever since

Go to Early United States Coins - to order the New "Early United States Half Dollar Vol. 1 / 1794-1807" book or the 1st new Bust Quarter book!
If it weren't for buying Thomas items my collection would be much nicer.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Thanks for the info on the value. But it has a home as the interested buyer already owns it.
I'm not surprised savoyspecial was all over this already!

I guess now you should start up a counterstamp Bust half dime, Bust dime, or Bust dollar set...
Trivia question for everyone else: One of the pieces in QN's album is actually catalogued as a foreign coin. Which piece, and which country?
All ready have...

I'm gonna guess the 1832 small letters. I don't know the country other than it's a Caribbean one. I may be wrong and it's the 1810. I suppose I could still be wrong after those two, but I doubt it.
QN: Do you have larger pics of the 1809 and 1819 coins?

Your first guess is the correct one. It is thought to have been done in Puerto Rico. Here is a link to an article I wrote a few years ago that includes this counterstamp: LINK

No, I don't, I just scanned these last night. They are both large prepared box style punches from some sort of smith (ie. Silver/gold/gun/etc.) I really need to take the time and shoot pictures of all of my countermarked coins, but too many coins and too little time...
