- 1824 Washington and Lafayette countermarks on an 1818 large cent. Musante GW-112-C3, Baker-198C. VF-20 (PCGS). Glossy deep olive brown surfaces are uniform and attractive. Nice impressions from the countermark dies, each positioned just slightly away from the center of the host. Small scratches at the 2 of the 1824 date in the countermark, but nothing else worthy of mention. A very desirable countermark made in celebration of Lafayette's return visit to the United States in 1824. This is a potential highlight for any advanced collection of middle date copper cents. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier, possibly ex Farouk; Hans Schulman's sale of January 26, 1957, lot 2016; John J. Ford, Jr.; our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part II, May 2004, lot 195. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
