Anyone have any history behind this counter stamp on a Large Cent. 0

Check the reference books of merchant tokens and counterstamps.

Been striking out on this one, I'll take another quick look in the morning but...

Nothing in Rulau that I could find. 

I don't have a copy of Brunk's counterstamp book, but Rich Hartzog's old website has a master list of the merchants in the book, and I could not find a JAP on that list.

Sorry

Thanks for looking. I post the thing every few years in hopes that it will show up in a list somewhere.

I thought it might have something to do with one of the presidential elections but no luck.
