Lot Title:

1796 (B-5, BB-65) NGC VG details/graffiti/countermarked.
|
|
Description:
|
MHJ Set. There is "graffiti", and then there is GRAFFITI. That which appears on this dollar is of the quaint and very attractive type that inspires feelings of a personal nature, since the coin was apparently inscribed during some long bygone era as a memento. The obverse features neatly stenciled lettering for "P Meier / Jan 24, 1826", while the reverse has the same inscription, only stamped in this time. Considering the high purchasing value of a dollar in 1826, one can only surmise commemoration of an important event, such as a birthday or deceasement. A fascinating coin no matter how one looks at it, with amazingly quaint, emotional appeal. (PCGS# 006861)
