This coin is a unique instance from the series of Counterstamped Coins, minted in 1820 in the United States of America. It has a denomination of 1¢ and is composed of silver, a remarkable feature that adds to its collectible appeal. The coin's diameter measures 23.5 mm, but it lacks specified measurements for width, height, and weight, suggesting it may be a non-standard presentation or an error in recording. With a total mintage of 398,000, this piece reflects a significant production during its time, highlighting its historical context. It does not feature a mint mark, indicating it was not produced in a specific mint facility, which is a common characteristic of certain coins from this era. Despite being marked specifically as a Counterstamped Coin, the absence of a designer and additional edge-type details focuses attention on the coin's primary characteristics and historical importance rather than artistic elements. The "Mint Strike" production type ensures that this coin was produced with clarity in detail and format, contributing to its overall preservation and potential value in the numismatic market. As a silver coin from 1820, it not only represents a small denomination but also serves as a tangible piece of American history, appealing to collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
