Lot 626
1827 Large Cent Overstruck with 1830 Lafayette Medal by C. C. Wright Fuld LA.1830.12 VG8. Glossy chocolate brown with darker steel brown toning on the high points. Smooth and attractive for the grade, just worn. The medal was struck over an 1827 large cent of unknown die variety. The 1827 date is visible at the top of the obverse along with stars 11-13. On the reverse you can find S OF AMERI still visible from the cent undertype. These were struck by Wright and Bale of New York to honor General Lafayette for his service during two revolutions (including ours). A really neat piece. DWH #3505.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
