St John, Newfoundland: Nicholas Ohman. Ohman was a jeweler, listed in the 1882 directory. This "N O" BAR PUNCH is his hallmark. Like the highly sought 'J.O.P.' hallmark c/m of Joseph Patenaude of British Columbia, Ohman's "N O" c/m were probably used for local advertising. VF c/m; on worn date AG Newfoundland half dollar. RARE, one of only six known. X-REF: Canada: General British Columbia Silversmith/Goldsmith Jewelers Countermarked Coins: Canada Merchant * Image-1 * -- * Image-2 * -- 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).
