MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 11:47 pm 1824. It's called a Washington Lafayette counterstamp. I would have uploaded the full slab but I'm having computer issues. https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...ar-NGC-VF-25 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 06:43 am I've heard of them. At one time they were supposedly fairly common but I've never seen one. They were a sort of "unofficial" commemorative privately produced in honor of a visit to the US by General Lafayette in 1824. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 09:13 am Cool counterstamps. I got curious as to what was the earliest numismatic listing I could find for this piece. There may be earlier listings, but here's one from 1885 with the same c/s on an 1820 dime .... https://books.google.com/books?id=J...ette&f=false Edited by ExoGuy 04/22/2018 09:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
