dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 01-25-2005 04:39 PM Okay, one more piece of coin from my meager collection. Just picked it up last month at a flea market, black and buried in a sea of undistinguished silverplate. Thought that Baldwin was probably the retailer, the marks on the left are very tiny (about 1/2 mm). Even under 30x magnification and enlarging the photo, can only make out that the first is an oval with flattened top and bottom and letter (possibly P) and the second is a hexagon. Ran across an old thread with reference to E.J.Baldwin and wondered if any more information had been unearthed. After years of researching Scandinavian pieces, finding the coin pieces very interesting, with all the family connections, etc. Baldwin & Cowles? Cheryl ;o) IP: Logged
