Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. George III counterstamped Bank of England Dollar ND (1799-1804), KM656, S-3766, 138, variety with large octagonal counterstamp, AU50 NGC. An emergency coinage overstruck on a 1793 Mexico City 8 reales. This example is well above average for the type. The host coin is in surprisingly good condition, especially considering the fact that it was counterstamped. The stamp itself on these issues is often very faint, though this one is unusually nice, with all details of the face and dress of King George apparent.
Estimate: 1000-1200 USD
