This specimen was lot 73371 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2025), where it sold for $240. The catalog description[1] noted, "ANGUILLA. Anguilla - Mexico. Dollar, 1967. PCGS MS-63. A "Liberty Dollar" counterstamped on a Mexico 5 Pesos of 1953 (KM-467) to support the Anguillan Secession Movement." A newspaper editor and coin collector in San Francisco fabricated these to raise money for his friends in Anguilla, an island in the Caribbean. He counterstamped a variety of readily available silver coins, including this Mexican five pesos. As they never circulated, Krause has consigned them to Unusual World Coins.
