Newly Discovered Boston Silversmith Counterstamp
'D. C. Kendall'
1776 Mexican Two Reals Coin With Multiple Counterstamps.
Silver. This is a newly discovered counterstamp, unlisted in either
Brunk or Rulau. The host coin is a Mexican 1776 two reales, with
three different counterstamps. The first and most important is the
name D. C. Kendall within a toothed border, and it has been
counterstamped twice. This jeweler appears on a list of
silversmiths and related craftsmen in the 1855 Boston,
Massachusetts, directory. His full name is Dauphin C. Kendall, who
operated out of 1 India Wharf. The second counterstamp appears to
be T. Lewis and is under the Kendall counterstamp. We
believe this was the first stamp on the coin. The third stamp is on
the reverse, TMC in block letters with a toothed border.
This would make a great addition to one's counterstamp collection.
