X-REF: S-OH Medicine/Medical Countermarked Coins: US Merchant

322. (OH: Fostoria) "P.E. Ballou Phrenologist". Perry Eugene Ballou, 1850-1913, married Olive Jackson in 1879 and had three children. He was a lecturer on the system of phrenology, which argued that human behavior could be explained by examining the shape of a person's head, and the 'bumps' on it. Phrenology was introduced into America by a Viennese physician Johann Spurzheim in 1832, calling it 'the science of the mind'. Initially appealing to the elites, by the 1850's phrenology had spread to small-town America, aided by the traveling 'bump doctor', close kin to the medicine show doctor. These professors of phrenology lectured, sold books and charts, and analyzed the heads of their audience for a fee, applying it to every aspect of life, from choosing mates and careers to raising children. Perry probaby pursued this field from about 1868 until 1876, preferring it to the hard labors of his family farm in Michigan. Seeing the interest in the subject diminish in the 1870's, he entered and obtained a medical degree from Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago in 1881. After graduation he first settled in Fostoria, OH, and there practiced homeopathic medicine. A couple of years later he moved to West Mill Grove, OH, and seems to have retired from practice in 1900 and died in 1913. Bold Very Fine countermark in circle around rim of coin, on Good Indian cent, date covered by c/m. Scarce and popular medical c/m.

338. (PA: Philadelphia) Bolivar House. William Carels began managing the Bolivar House in 1828. He also countermarked coins for Carel's Restaurant, which was located at the same address. "Bolivar/8th and Chest Strt" in two semi-circles. These Bolivar House c/m are particularlly interesting because of their unusual letter layout, which is NOT circular, but composed of semi-circles of different radii. Why he used this unusual layout is answered by closely studying his twenty and twenty-five cent struck tokens. On those pieces the denomination is in the center of the name and address, which appear exactly as they do on the coins, but in the c/m coins these words are incuse. Therefore, the c/m coins must have been made using the original hub die that had been cut to manufacture the Bolivar House's brass tokens! This fact was previously unrecognized. See Rulau 1997, p.137-8, where the tokens are valued at $2000-3000/VF. Bold VF-XF c/m on nice, clean Good Mexican two reales, 1789. One of three known on two reales. VERY Rare! Hard Times era c/m.

He and his son sold 'Imported and American watches, clocks, silverware, spectacles, musical instruments, spy glasses, microscopes.' He was also an early PHOTOGRAPHER who chronicled the life of Ithaca (The Dewitt Historical Society of Ithaca published an entire book: 'With a Jeweler's Eye: The Photographs of Joseph C. Burritt, 1988'. This book illustrated one of his spoons with this hallmark, but they were unaware he had stamped coins!)

383. (RI: Providence) "EB" Hallmark of Ezekiel Burr - RARE Hard Times Token. The origins of this hallmark stamp have been hotly debated for decades. Early writers attributed this piece to Ephraim Brasher of New York. A similar c/m piece sold for $3500 in 1968! Three spoons with this hallmark, but attributed to Brasher, sold for $880 in the July 1991 Coin Galleries sale. Coin World (Feb. 16, 1998) printed a feature article on this hallmark on a 1799 dollar. Belden and many other references illustrate a very similar rectangular silversmith's hallmark that was used by Ephraim Brasher. The problem is that Brasher died in 1810, and "EB" hallmarks appear on coins dated as late as 1835. However, silversmiths sometimes used hallmarks of predecessors to mark their own quality goods. A subsequent article in Coin World (March 3, 1998) illustrated this coin, a blowup of the c/m, and offered arguments favoring Ezekiel Burr as the illusive "EB". The Brasher c/m is 'E*B', while this is "EB". Burr was an early American silversmith, born in Providence in 1765. He and his two brothers Christopher and William C. were apprenticed to gold and silversmith Samuel Yates of Newport, ca. 1777. When Ezekiel's apprenticeship was over, he married Lydia Yates, in 1785. The Dec. 8, 1792 'Providence Gazette' reported he and his brother William were partners 'a few doors south of the Baptist Meeting House'. Christopher was lost at sea while quite young. In 1793 the two brothers parted their business, but each continued in the trade. During his life Ezekiel held various local offices, including tax collector and deputy sheriff. About 1825 Ezekiel became a grocer, while his young son continued the family jewelry business. BAR-PUNCH in rectangle, F/VF; on head of 1819 Bust Half Dollar, choice VF. One of 2 known specimens on half dollars; one of 7 total, the latest dated 1835, making it a Hard Times Token. The 1799 dollar piece is also carefully struck on the Liberty head. RARE, an important piece of evidence in an ongoing debate in early American numismatics. Rulau 7/98 lists as RI 41A, ca. 1835.

413. (New Hampshire!) "Use G.G.G." Goodwin's Grand Grease Juice. Numismatists argued for decades about what was advertised by the stamp: 'Use G.G.G.' In 1985 Robert Sagers discovered the long c/m version: 'Use Goddwin's Grand Grease Juice for the Hair'. In 1994 Dave Bowers presented extensive evidence at an ANS conference that the issuer was George C. Goodwin, a large patent medicine dealer in Boston. But a subsequent check of the Goodwin's patent medicine catalogs in the Harvard Library showed he did not sell G.G.G. In 1995 Richard Cannon discovered a bottle reading: 'Goodwin's Grand Grease Juice Quintessence of Fat'. Then it was discovered that the July 1855 NH District Court copyrights indicate M.H. Goodwin was the maker of this product, but do not indicate a city! He received licenses for the trademarks: G.G.G., Q of F, Goodwin's Grand Grease Juice, and Goodwin's Grand Grease Juice or Quintessence of Fat. He called the product 'The Great American Preparation for the Establishment, Growth and Beauty of the Human Hair'. "Use/G.G.G." Bold VF c/m; on nice brown G/VF 1848 Large Cent. Issued ca. 1857, as that is the latest known host coin.

Mrs. T. Hammond was the wife of Thomas Hammond, the gentleman for whom the town of Hammond, IN was named. This naming occured in the mid-1870's at the request of the Post Office. The question of which name was narrowed down to two choices. Marcus M. Towle, the founder of the town, hoped the town would be named for him. Thomas Hammond, a brother of George Hammond, a partner of Towle, was a man of stature in the area, and put in his claim for "Hammond". The issue was decided when the two met and flipped a coin. Towle served as the first mayor (1884-88) and Hammond as the second mayor (1888-93).

438. (MD: Baltimore) Houck's Panacea. Hard Times 141. Jacob Houck was born in Frederick, MD, and moved to Baltimore in 1828, where he had a dry goods store at 121 W Baltimore St. In 1834 he started selling his panacea, and advertised in the 1835 to 1842 city directories that it was prepared solely from vegetable matter. A bottle cost $1.50, and Houck stated a liberal discount would be given to those buying for resale. Eventually his shop was located at No. 16, the corner of German and Hanover Sts. In 1851 Henry T. Houck became proprietor of the business. He must have sold the rights to produce the medicine, as a bottle exists with a Goddletsville, TN address, with another made in Nashville. The 1855 Nashville city directory carried an ad by A.G. Goodlet (presumably Goodletsville was named for his family) who stated he now sold Houck's Panacea, popular in both the South and North. "Houck's/Panacea/Baltimore" BAR-PUNCH, in loaf shaped indentation. Bold, clear VF c/m fully in field; on choice Fine 1834 Bust Half Dollar.

459. (MA: Boston) Dr. Moses Warren Kidder. Dr. Kidder proved to be a very difficult individual to identify with certainty because his patent medicines were sold by someone else! The well-informed initial attribution was to Dr. James Kidder, a doctor and druggist whose patent medicines were sold by his second wife, Elizabeth Ann Goldsmith Kidder. She advertised Kidder's Dysentery Cordial and other medicines in the 1845 city directory (See next lot for a bottle). That seemed the correct attribution until Dr. Craig Blackstone recently discovered that the physician in question was actually Dr. Moses Warren Kidder, also of Boston. In the 1845 Boston directory, D. Taylor, Jr. & Company, advertised Dr. Kidder's Celebrated Family Pills for 'cure of fevers, liver complaints, costiveness, and all complaints where a purgative medicine is required.' Another of Taylor's advertisements in the May 1854 Boston Evening Transcript noted the pills were 'prepared only by D. Taylor, Jr. & Co.' Taylor's 1854 directory listing indicates his short lived association with Kidder: 'Taylor David jr. & co. (M.W. Kidder), medicines and fancy goods, 25 Hanover, house 31 Crescent place.' In 1855 Dr. Moses Kidder was selling patent medicines at 11 Central Street and living in Lowell. By 1858 Kidder had joined his father's practice and by the early 1870's was not only listed as a physican in Lowell, but also as an agent for the American Improved Gas Light Company. Furthermore: 'his services as chemical expert in law cases were in frequent demand'. "Use Dr. Kidder's./Family Pills", in curved lines. Nice VF c/m; on choice brown Fine 1840 Large Cent.

These countermarks have been facinating numismatists since the Dec 1881 John Haseltine auction, which featured a number of coins apparently from the DuBois Collection. William DuBois, Chief Curator of the US Mint Collection, died in 1881, and coins in his collection were dispersed by dealers. This may explain why there are no records of the c/m prior to 1881. They were described by Frank Duffield in his 1919 Numismatist article, who noted the letters "E" and "L" on 1815 and 1825 quarters. They are commonly sought by bust quarter collectors, as well as c/m collectors. Duffield suggests they are US Mint trial strikes. Like the 1848 CAL c/m on quarter eagles that announced the discovery of gold in California, these letters were stamped while the coin rested on the reverse anvil die. Karl Moulton observed both the letters "E" and "L" appear to be from Mint punches of the sort used to make the dies for the 1807 quarter dies. Moulton suggests that John Reich, Assistant Engraver of the Mint in 1815, himself stamped the letters into the coins as part of the test process he used in redesigning the Bust quarter, ca. 1815. Moulton further suggests following the death of the Chief Engraver in 1823 and the resignation of the Director in 1824, William Kneass was left doing most of the work. Kneass may then have asked his old friend John Reich to work on the current 1825 quarters. Whoever did the stamping, both years were stamped the same, with the coins resting on the dies when the stamping was done. As is apparent from this explanation, there is some difficulty in explaining why the stamping was done on coins 10 years apart. The auctioneer suggests the possibility that the 1815 dies were dusted off and used in 1825 to strike more coins. As these coins were obviously struck and counterstamped in the Mint, it would be only a modest strech to suggest all were struck in 1825. Bold VF/XF c/m; on Choice, attractively toned About Uncirculated 1825/4 Overdate Bust quarter. Obverse nice even light golden brown, reverse also nice, iridescent golden around devices, sharp and bold. One of only 3 known on 1825 quarters. While a hoard existed in 1881, they are quite Rare today. The full page description in the 10 June 1996 Stack's sale stated: "Of all the "L" and "E" counterstamped quarters, the rarest is the 1825 with an "L" Counterstamp". In that sale an 1825 in AU, lot 1547 (not described as an overdate) realized $3932.

547. (CA: Nevada City) "Rudolph". J.F. Rudolph was a druggist, who bought the business of Dr. W.G. Alban at 21 Commercial St in Nevada City in 1855. In the 23 Nov 1855 "Nevada Journal", Rudolph announced he had worked for 20 years in Philadelphia, and is listed in directories from 1844 to 1855. He advertised in the 1856 Nevada City directory the exact same way he stamped his coins. In 1861 Rudolph was in partnership with Mr. Hunt selling drugs at 32 Main St. Researchers Bill Swoger and John Schreiner report that by 1885 he was listed as a druggist in Sacramento, California at 823 K St. This was about seven blocks from J.L.

584. (MA?) "F. Storrs" Unlisted Hard Times Token - EAT. Previously unlisted EAT or HTT? (see Rulau 1997, p 28). This bar-punch c/m is obviously a hallmark. While F. Storrs is not listed in any silversmith directory consulted, a close comparison of this mark with the stamps of Nathan Storrs indicates they are of the same style. Not only are most of the individual letters similar, but both stamps are cut so they are not quite rectangular, with a slight bulge in the middle. Thus probably F. Storrs was an apprentice to Nathan, or otherwise related. Nathan Storrs and Benjamin Cook worked in Northampton and Amherst, MA, ca. 1827-33. They are known to have marked coins with 'Storrs & Cook'. BAR-PUNCH VF c/m; on AG/G 1819 Large Cent. Very Rare, only known specimen of this EARLY c/m. Rulau 1997; 28.

First letter partially off left side (possibly an "H"?), otherwise a nice VF c/m, "M" weak, and at the end of the coin; on nice VG 1831 Bust Half Dollar. Rulau lists 'Whitcom' and 'Whitcomb' c/ms, and this may be 'Whitcomb'. A good possible issuer is the Whitcomb family of Boston. Carl Jacobs (Guide to American Peweter) lists A.B. Whitcomb working in Boston in the 1820's and 1830's. The time period is correct, and if a peweterer hallmark, that explains why the stamps are bigger than a silversmith hallmark. Since peweter is so soft, a larger impression can be gained from the same blow, but the result is a weak strike when struck with similar force on a silver coin. Rare, one of 2 known, other on 1807 half.

627. (NY: New York City/Philadelphia) Thomas Wildes. Hard Times Token? The crowned X c/m was first reported by US Navy Commodore W.C. Eaton in the 1922 Numismatist. Its origins were hotly debated until Brunk discovered an example of the c/m on one of Wildes' works. Wildes began work as a pewterer in Philadelphia in 1829, moved to NY in 1833 and worked there until 1840. The identical crowned "X" appears on a lamp with Wilde's stamp (See Update) and was a mark used on high quality petwer wear. "(Crown)/X" Bold VF/XF c/m; on F/VF 1833 Half Cent, "E" scratched on rev.

665. B-C: Nelson: Joseph Oliva Patenaude. In 1871 Joseph O. Patenaude was born in Iberville, Quebec, and moved to Nelson in 1897. There he owned a jewelry store on Baker Street which employed 13 people. In local newspaper accounts he was remembered not only for his artistic creations, but for his good acts as well. Patenaude was a devout Catholic and a contributor to many charities. In 1947 Pope Pius XII personally honored him in recognition of his altruism. Toward the end of WWI Patenaude invested in an inexpensive way of refining silver ore. A patent infringment suit followed, and after a long delay made its way to Canada's highest court. Patenaude and his fellow investors lost the judgment, and he was forced to sell most of his operations in 1930, remaining in business only as an optician. After these difficulties he became interested in improving the condition of Canadian mining through the free coinage of silver (Gingras 1959, 1965, 1982). In 1935 Patenaude optained a thousand Canadian silver dollars and stamped them in the center of the voyager's canoe with his 'JOP' hallmark, giving them out in change at his optometry business. The usual explanation for these coins is that by countermarking them he attempted to show the extensive circulation of silver dollars, and by so doing encourage the government to coin more of them. But this may have just been an inexpensive form of local advertising. Patenaude continued counterstamping dollars until 1949, but seems to have stopped when he sold his business (Gingras 1982). Two varieties exist, this "J.O.P." bar-punch in oval with relief letters, and 'JOP' incuse. This specimen is struck just below the canoe, slightly double struck, and a bit angled, on a 1935 Canadian silver dollar. Only 25 total recorded specimens, but not listed by variety. Highly sought by Canadian collectors. Another Canadian hallmark with a similar advertising purpose is by Nicholas Ohman (see lot 664).
