Description
Counterstamped 1925 Stone Mountain halves MS 60. Two pieces. Counterstamped on the reverses: N.2 and N.3. These coins are listed in Adna Wilde's article "Where Are They Today?" reprinted by the ANA in 1988 and still the definitive work on these counterstamped halves. These coins are listed as "Issuer Unknown" in Wilde's article and he had both pieces traced at that time to the Powell Trotter Collection. Counterstamped and numbered halves were sold throughout the South to benefit the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association. Most have a state abbreviation and a number impressed into them. The meaning of the N.2 and N.3 counterstamps on these coins remains a mystery. They probably are not from North Carolina as that state used N.CAR. as the abbreviation for its counterstamped halves. An intriguing pair of coins, moderately toned, that will surely provide the new owner many hours of research before unlocking their mystery.
