^Lot 665 Anguilla, 1 "Liberty" dollar, July 11, 1967, countermark on a Panama 1 balboa, 1947, rare, NGC MS 61

Anguilla, 1 "Liberty" dollar, July 11, 1967, countermark on a Panama 1 balboa, 1947, rare, NGC MS 61, finest known in NGC census. KM-X7.1. Host coin lustrous and fully detailed, with very bold but slightly off-center full countermark lettering, interesting type made by San Francisco Chronicle editor Scott Newhall to support Anguilla's secession from the British Commonwealth, with only a couple thousand of the 11,600 silver dollar-sized coins countermarked actually sold to collectors and many of those melted in subsequent years. NGC #5961046-006.
