Canadian Countermark

2 on obv. of Rutherford ½ penny, 1841, Br 952, placed at center between the ram’s front and back legs. Piece holed twice at opposite ends of the animal.

The mark is noted “The currency and medals of Newfoundland”, page 55. The countermark is certainly uncommon and only known on Rutherford halfpennies.

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
