Counterstamps

(Multiple Names & Initials) on an 1830s Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust half dollar. Brunk-Unlisted, Rulau-Unlisted. Host coin About Good, but holed.

Stamped with multiple names and initials in all directions on both sides of a contemporary counterfeit bust half dollar. Perhaps this was a test piece for a punch maker. Time spent with all of the names may reveal a location and possible vocations for several individuals.

Estimate: $ 200
