- “1737” (ca. 1864) Higley Copy by J.A. Bolen. Musante JAB-10. Copper. MS-64 BN (PCGS).
29.8 mm. 170.6 grains. Lustrous light steel brown with soft blue overtones on both sides. Just one tiny spot is noted on the obverse, but there is very little handling of any kind. Struck from the uncanceled dies over a 1773 French sol, with REX and 1773 being the most visible remnants of the undertype, seen at 12:00 on the obverse. Another broad example, very similar in diameter to the one offered in the previous lot, suggesting that perhaps these were struck in the same shop. Slight porosity around the periphery seems related to the undertype and, in our opinion, does not relate to the state of preservation at all. Attractive and interesting.
Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier ex New Netherlands Coin Company; John J. Ford, Jr.; our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 576.
