(Washington bust and stars) / (seal of the City of New York) counterstamped on an 1896-O Morgan silver dollar. cf. Baker-A154. Mint State.An intriguing item, the obverse counterstamp is similar in design to the obverse of Baker-A154. The reverse counterstamp depicts the seal of the City of New York, also centered on the host coin. Both the counterstamps and host coin are Mint State, the whole lightly to moderately toned in smoky apricot-gray patina. The first example of this type that we can eve recall handling, and certainly a piece that is worthy of additional study.Collector tag with attribution notes included.
