COUNTERSTAMPED STONE MOUNTAIN HALF DOLLAR ~ ALABAMA

SCARCE COUNTERSTAMPED ST. MTN HALF DOLLAR ~ STAMPED "192 ALA." ~ IN GREAT CONDITION! ~

In early 1925 the Stone Mountain Monumental Association was looking for different ways to market and help sell their newly issued commemorative. With the profits derived from the sale of a proposed 2,000,000+ coins at $1 each, the Association hoped to defray the cost of carving the massive granite sculpture in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Along with enlisting the help of banks, insurance companies, and others, the group came up with the idea of “special” counterstamped pieces. There are basically three types of counterstamps, and they are as follows:

 

1) Regular. Coins were stamped with the state (in abbreviated form) and a number (randomly selected, essentially by a lottery system). These were generally auctioned off in a publicity stunt to raise more money for the Association, and to create a false sense of value for the regular coin being sold at a “mere” $1. Many of the auctioned pieces sold for hundreds of dollars.
 

2) United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). These pieces were stamped with the state, number, and UDC. In this instance, the number was the chapter number for the local UDC group. Much scarcer than the regular counterstamp.

3) GL and SL. These were awards to young “white” women between the ages of 15 and 25, who were successful in winning a sales competition of regular Stone Mountain Commemoratives in their locale. “GL” stands for Gold Lavalier, while the “SL” is for Silver Lavalier. Basically first and second place. All these pieces were awarded in bezels, gold for the “GL”, and silver for the “SL”. Sadly, when these pieces came into the “numismatic” community, many of them were stripped of their bezels, as the real story of them was unknown.
