Anguilla
Anguilla (provisional government), 1 liberty dollar, incuse countermark ANGUILLA / LIBERTY DOLLAR around JULY / 11 / 1967 on date side of a Zacatecas, Mexico, 1 peso, 1898FZ, rare early host, NGC AU 55.KM-unl (host 409.3).This host type (cap-and-rays) is very early and unlisted for this countermark issue, famously issued by the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, Scott Newhall, to support Anguilla's 1967 revolution against the formation of an associated state with Saint Kitts and Nevis. Out of thousands so marked, generally crown-sized silver coins of the early to mid-1900s, reportedly only 10 pieces were made from this host type, an unknown number of which were from the 1800s (this could be the only one). Typically deeply toned in the letters and numbers of the countermark, with almost all host-coin details still visible and lustrous, circular striations throughout from the countermarking process.
Estimate: 200-400 USD
