Spectacular E Countermark 1815 Quarter, MS66, B-1

1815 25C MS66 NGC. 1815 25C E Countermark MS66 NGC. B-1, R.1. Numerous theories have been proposed concerning the enigmatic E and L counterstamped Bust quarters, which began to appear in numismatic circles in the second half of the 19th century. Current speculation is that the Economite religious community in Pennsylvania counterstruck these pieces as a voting measure. The E and L counterstamps represented rival factions within the Economites. This is a remarkable example of the E counterstamp. Ocean-blue and orange toning graces lustrous and sharply struck surfaces. Void of any relevant marks, and encapsulated in a prior generation NGC holder. Census: 5 in 66, 1 finer (12/07).
