1795 Large Cent with D. VAN HORN Counterstamp 1 1

[Scott Snyder]

Can anybody help me with a 1795 large cent in VF+ condition with a counterstamp to the period of a Rich Dutch NY family from the 1700's. Will NGC grade this coin in anyway? Thank you

I also am a buyer of almost all half cents in slabs if reasonably priced. Thank you

   Welcome to the NGC chat board.  The "Coin Marketplace" forum is for offers to buy or sell coins in accordance with the posted guidelines, not for questions about coins, which should be posted on the "U.S., World and Ancient Coins" forum or the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum.  For an answer from the NGC staff, it should be posted on the "Ask NGC/NCS" forum.

   NGC will apparently attribute earlier U.S. coins with counterstamps listed in the Brunk reference, but not others. See US and World Tokens and Medals Graded by NGC | NGC (ngccoin.com). I assume that such pieces would not receive a numerical grade but could only be "Details" graded, as is NGC's practice with chopmarked trade dollars.  It appears that coins defaced with unlisted counterstamps would be deemed "ineligible for encapsulation". See Early Copper “INELIGIBLE TYPE”. - Ask NGC/NCS - NGC Coin Collectors Chat Boards.

Are you working on a collection of half cents?
