November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial--Counterstamped 149 ALA.--MS-63 (NGC). CAC. This fully Choice example exhibits iridescent silver-apricot toning to frosty surfaces. Boldly to sharply defined over the design elements with a firmly impressed 149 / ALA. counterstamp at the lower right reverse border. In an effort to produce unique coins that could be sold through auction at higher levels and thereby raise additional funds for the Stone Mountain Memorial, a number of these commemorative half dollars were counterstamped as part of the "Great Harvest Campaign" (chaired by the governors of the Southern states). With most examples that we have encountered being worn, if not also impaired, it is obvious that the vast majority either found their way into the hands of non-numismatists or ended up in circulation. This is a problem free Uncirculated example that holds particular appeal for specialists. It is not included in the census of known examples published by Adna G. Wilde in the article "Counterstamped Stone Mountain Half Dollars: Where Are They Today?," The Numismatist, August 1987. PCGS# 9378. NGC ID: BYJ6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
