The 1800 Maundy Penny has the same portrait punch as that was used to strike the octagonal countermark dollars and half-dollars as featured earlier in this sale. Therefore it is vital for a collector of octagonal countermark pieces to have an example of the 1800 silver Penny in his or her collection to compare the punches.
