Description
'Houck's Panacea' Counterstamped
1835 Bust Half, HT-141
(1836) Counterstamped 1835 Bust Half Dollar XF45,
Uncertified. HT-141, Brunk-H779. "Houck's Panacea Baltimore,
Md." counterstamp. Dr. Jacob Houck was born in Frederick, Maryland,
and moved to Baltimore in 1828. In 1834 he began selling Houck's
Panacea; it is believed that the counterstamp emanated from the
1836-1837 Hard Times period. He became a prolific counterstamper,
using whatever coins came his way. In our last sale in September
one example brought over $1,000.
