Counterstamped Penny - HELP

[bhx7]

Here is a one I am looking for help on. It is a counterstamped 1797 Cartwheel Penny. The logo is clearly the Elephant & Castle and very professional for a counterstamp. Any idea's? Has anyone seen one before? Got this off a friend who knew I liked this type of thing so not for sale Thanks all in advance

It's a really nice one and not one I've seen before, I do collect the odd counter marked coin but not seriously. If anybody has a copy of 'British Countermarks on Copper and Bronze Coins' by J G Scott they maybe able to give you some more info

My only observation (apart from liking the countermark) is that it seems the coin was very well worn before the mark was applied.

Thanks Guys

Very much appreciate you taking the time. Agree about the wear on the coin. I will also look into the book.
