Lot 94
1794 C-9 R2 Counterstamped Brunk J-199 Fair-2. Glossy chocolate brown and olive with small splashes of reddish brown toning at the top of the obverse. Smooth surfaces, just heavily worn. The obverse is nearly G4 with the date and LIBERTY easily readable, but the reverse is considerably weaker with only minor portions of the legend visible. Counterstamped E.JONES with raised letters in an incuse rectangle. Brunk assigns this stamp to a New York City silversmith who operated there from 1827 to 1833. Apparently a rare stamp as Brunk lists only a single example, and that is on a half dollar. Weight 95.3 grains.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
