Undated Lafayette Portrait Counterstamp on an 1836 Modified Matron Head Cent. Fine Details--Damage (PCGS).
Not listed in the Fuld monograph. Unlisted in Brunk. Small, mature bust of Lafayette facing left in circular-format 8 mm stamp without letters or numerals. Stamped on Liberty's portrait. We grade the counterstamp Extremely Fine; host coin with golden-brown surfaces. Curious but nicely applied little mark, and seemingly quite rare as this is the only example we recall having seen.
From the David Sterling Collection. Earlier from our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XXIII, August 2013, lot 21217.

Estimate: $1000
