(ca. 1960) George Washington Counterstamp on a Great Britain 1797 Penny. Musante GW-Unlisted, Baker-1058, Brunk-41940. About Uncirculated. A deeply impressed countermark, heavy enough to have caused a split in the host flan. Traces of red in the countermark while the host is otherwise pleasing light brown. These pieces were said to have been struck by Paul Franklin.
