MESCHUTTS (curved) / METROPOLITAN / COFFEE ROOM / 433 BD.WAY, NY on the reverse of an 1830 Matron Head large cent. Brunk M-618, Rulau NY-558. Host coin Very Good.A popular NY stamp by Frederick Meschutt, who ran a restaurant or "eating house" originally at 559 Broadway in New York City in the 1860s. In 1879 he opened an establishment styled after Lafayette Hall that was located at 597 Broadway. Meschutt deliberately selected worn coins for counterstamping so the advertisement would be very clear. Brunk does not show an 1830 dated large cent reported with this stamp.From the Steve Tompkins Collection.
