More on the EVERMAN Counterstamp

A Newman Portal user asked about an EVERMAN counterstamp on an 1856 dollar. The counterstamp is listed in the Brunk reference, there on an 1852 Augustus Humbert $50 gold slug. Eric Schena added to the story in the June 2015 Numismatist, noting other EVERMAN pieces including an 1854 gold dollar, 1854 quarter eagle, and two 1855-O half dollars. Eric's best guess as to the identity of the maker was Louis Everman, a silversmith in Carroll County, TN.

Our correspondent added that the coin was from his uncle, who located the piece while metal detecting in Tennessee. Eric Schena writes What a great find - thank you for sending these images my way; I will add them to my census. I need to revisit that article and see if I can find any additional evidence.

Images: 1856 gold dollar featuring EVERMAN counterstamp, submitted by NNP user.

Eric also provided these images of his EVERMAN half dollar and quarter eagle. Thank you! Note that both of Eric's coins are stamped twice, once on the obverse, and once again on the reverse. -Editor
