- "1737" (1860s) Higley Copper. Bolen Copy. Musante JAB-10, Kenney-4, W-14270. THE VALVE OF THREE PENCE / CONNECTICVT, 3 Hammers. Copper. MS-64 BN (PCGS). A charming example, both sides exhibit light golden-brown patina to surfaces that retain plenty of faded pinkish-rose color. Hard, satiny and smooth with only a few faint carbon spots precluding an even higher numeric grade. The dies for this type were cut by John Adams Bolen in 1864 and sold to Dr. F.S. Edwards of New York the following year, who used them to produce an unknown number of restrikes in various metallic compositions. Bolen himself produced 40 copper impressions, presumably followed by additional pieces when the dies were in Edwards' hands. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. PCGS# 535242.
