Anguilla, 1 "Liberty" dollar, July 11, 1967, countermark on a Lima, Peru, 1 sol, 1926, PCGS VF30. KM-X3. The story behind this incuse countermarking is that the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle at the time, a coin collector named Scott Newhall, wanted to raise funds to support Anguilla (which at the time was under the control of neighboring St. Kitts) in a bid to return to the British Commonwealth by selling some 11,600 coins so countermarked, but in the end no more than 3000 coins were released and the maker was stuck with the rest. Circulated host coin with bold and dark incuse overstrike lettering. PCGS #40566885.
