Description
This 1870 Seated Liberty Dollar bears a merchant counterstamp attributed to J.F. Tozer, cataloged as Brunk T-381. Counterstamps were applied to circulating coins by merchants, silversmiths, and tradesmen as a form of portable advertising — the business card of early America. The J.F. Tozer stamp identifies a business operating in Tozer, one of many merchants who used coin counterstamping to advertise their trade. The host coin is a 1870 dollar from the Seated Liberty Dollars 1840-1873 series. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper. Cataloged as PCGS #888837. Counterstamped coins documented in Gregory G. Brunk's "American and Canadian Countermarked Coins" sit at the intersection of numismatics and Americana — each piece is a primary-source historical document of early American commerce. The counterstamp adds a unique layer of provenance that distinguishes this coin from all other examples of its type.
