A CHOPMARKED 1799 DOLLAR
The cover of the December 2013 issue of the Chopmark News (edited by Colin Gullberg) features an interesting U.S. coin - a chopmarked 1799 dollar. Here's the image and Colin's description.
-Editor
USA 1799 One Dollar, KM-32, R-3. The British Museum collection. The coin was donated to the museum by CCC member William Barrett in 1997. Mr. Barrett has donated a total of 1,313 items to the museum. I emailed Mr. Barrett about the coin and he told me that he acquired it at Jeff Hoare Auctions, October 27, 1996, for about C$250 [about US$185 at the time].
