For example, when the Marquis de Lafayette returned to the United States in 1824 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution, he was given a number of coins counterstamped with his and Washington&#039;s busts to present to well-wishers during his year long visit. Less than two dozen (primarily on large cents—cataloged by Brunk as L-46) are known to have survived.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S., when the Marquis del Lafayette landed in New York, fully one third of the <i>entire</i> population on the city was waiting to greet him at the wharf.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
