The first one has a Liberty head and thirteen stars on the front and a wreath on the back. The two sides are marked as follows: E. PLURIBUS UNUM 1837 MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE The second one has a seated Liberty with a ship, spinning wheel, shuttle, medical symbol, staff, Liberty Cap, shield, food, and an eagle.

The two sides read as follows: LAFAYETTE A FRIEND TO AMERICA & FREEDOM DIED MAY 20 1834 HM & EI RICHARDS MANUFACTURERS OF JEWELRY NEAR THE UNION HOUSE ATTLEBORO, MASS. They each measure about 1-1/8" wide. Since I am not a professional coin grader I will not attempt to grade these. You will need to judge the condition by the pictures. |
