Potty Coin Fashioned out of an 1871-Dated Liberty Seated Half Dollar. The obverse of the host coin has been engraved and turned into a "potty" coin. Miss Liberty is nude sitting on a large chamber pot. A nicely done example of this genre. In addition, the names J.R. WARD and Wm McGOWAN are engraved in the fields on each side of Miss Liberty. Either one could be the artist or perhaps just the recipients of the item. Most examples of this type are done on dollar size coins and Trade dollars in particular, so this is a scarcer host type. A nice example in any event.From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.
