August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

详细说明: 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Promissory Halfpenny Mule. Fuld Mule-2, W-8670. Rarity-4. Copper. LIVERPOOL Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Traces of original pinkish-rose color still cling to the protected areas around many of the devices on both sides of this otherwise warmly patinated, autumn-brown example. Satiny surfaces are overall smooth in appearance with just a few wispy handling marks in the fields precluding an even higher grade. Smartly impressed, visually appealing, and sure to sell for a solid bid. The various mulings using the goddess of Liberty obverse die of the Talbot, Allum & Lee cents were made in England expressly for distribution to contemporary numismatists. Several rare varieties are known based on metallic composition and/or edge style although Whitman-8670, offered here, is one of the more frequently encountered. As such, the present example would be an excellent initial acquisition for the collector who is just getting started in this highly specialized area of the hobby. PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer in this category (both MS-64 BN). PCGS# 991. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
