Counterstamps
(1848-55) New York, NY Counterstamp, Unlisted C.C. TRACY / SAW FILER Variant, Brunk T-384, Rulau M-NY-2073A, AG3 NGC. Counterstamped on a 17?? silver 2 reales host coin. Caleb C. Tracy issued two previously known formats for his counterstamps, each including the C.C. TRACY name as the first line of his 3 or 4-line marks. This example without his name (the word THE is substituted) is a new variant, unknown to us until now. The other three lines of the counterstamp match traditional C.C. TRACY marks.
