PEI Holey Dollar Dump PEI Dump, CH PE-1A2, Faulkner Gg.1. Fargeon Dump. This Dump is classified among Holey Dollars and Dumps with irregular countermarks. In this case, the mark consists of a circle of ten lines in the form of rectangles which has been applied to the obverse of the Dump. The irregularity of the countermark does not disqualify it as a legitimate piece. It is one of only 12 Dumps to have a claim to legitimacy and as such extremely rare. Very few Dumps have ever been offered for public sale and this is the first one to have been offered since 2003. This Dump was identified as belonging to the important Montreal collector Allan Fargeon in an article by Fred Bowman in The CN Journal for April 1960. It was sold in a Jeffrey Hoare auction, June 323-25, 1995, as lot 685. Except for the countermark opposite the identifiable contour formed by the King`s throat, and the faint remains of the coat of arms on the reverse, the coin has been worn smooth.


Note this lot is part of the Geoffrey Bell Collection.
