- 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Birmingham Halfpenny Mule. Fuld Mule-1, W-8665. Rarity-4+. Copper. Lettered Edge. MS-65 BN (PCGS). Toned in slightly marbled antique copper and golden-brown patina, this premium quality example reveals traces of original faded rose color in the protected areas around many of the design elements. Handsome blue-gray undertones also shine forth nicely as the coin dips into a light, especially the obverse (goddess of Liberty side). Satiny in texture with expectably smooth surfaces for the assigned grade, this is a lovely example of this type, manufactured in England expressly for distribution to contemporary numismatists. Whitman-8665 is the most plentiful variety of this particular Talbot, Allum & Lee cent muling; far rarer are the brass strikings and the copper impression with plain edge. Provenance: From our (Stack's) Dr. Conway A. Bolt Collection Sale, April 1966, lot 69; our (Stack's) Laird U. Park Collection Sale, May 1976, lot 69. Lot tags included.
