1824 Lafayette Visit medalet dies by Joseph Lewis struck over an 1820 cent. Musante GW-112-C3, Baker-198C. Copper. VF-30 (PCGS).28.8 mm. 165.2 grains. Lovely glossy olive surfaces and fairly strong impressions from the dies, though they are slightly uneven. Washington on the obverse, nearly centered, but rotated. Tiny vise marks on the edge at 12:30 and 6:30. While we do not know the history of this piece, examples of this counterstamp on 1820 large cents were included in the Mickley and Fewsmith sales.<p>Considering the rarity of the silver medalets, this counterstamp variant is a great way to represent this type as well as the unique history that inspired it in a collection. While the dies were used to overstrike various hosts including half dollars, Spanish colonial coins and at least one half dime (as offered in the January 1863 Benjamin Haines Collection sale by Bangs, Merwin & Co.), all are scarce. The large cents seem to be the most commonly seen, however, and must have been a favorite, low-cost host.Ex William Spohn Baker Collection, to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by bequest, November 15, 1897.
