<B>1827 Bust Half Dollar Counterstamped J. Martine, Fayetteville N.C.</B></I> Brunk M-247, Rulau HT-374, R.8. One of the rarest of the early Hard Times-era merchant counterstamps. James Martine was a coppersmith who started out in 1826 in Cumberland County, North Carolina, of which Fayetteville was the county seat. It is believed that he issued these counterstamps while a coppersmith and later a pewterer, circa 1826-1836. This desirable counterstamp should draw plenty of attention.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
