<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 1618082, member: 10944&quot;]The serrated rectangle was definitely used a “reasonable“ (not super common but I wouldn’t say rather uncommon either) amount in the last quarter of the 18th c. Im pretty sure I’ve seen examples from near/colonial era but can’t recall by who. More in the early 19th c. I would say that 7 times out of 10 when you see it it’s going to be pre early 1830‘s. Thats my relatively limited experience at least. I never said anything was a rule by any means but when you see it it’s a good sign you’re dealing with “early” coin silver. I would classify early as being 30’s or earlier but I’m sure others may have different definitions of early. </p><p><br /></p><p>How often do you see pseudo hallmarks on spoons made outside NY?
