| Description: |
152.7 grains. 28.6 mm. Rich chocolate brown surfaces are essentially problem-free and
retain a good bit of lustre. Smooth and glossy with ideal visual appeal, a sharp and
attractive coin in hand and under a glass. A minor, thin lamination traverses the reverse
just below CENT, less significant fissure parallel above eagle's head,, only the most
insignificant microscopic granularity. With minimal wear and a classic old copper look,
this piece will be an ideal type coin for a finicky collector. Its provenance is quite an
attraction too!From Wayte Raymond's first public auction sale, December 1910, Lot 8;
Hillyer Ryder to F.C.C. Boyd; our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part V,
October 2004, Lot 136.
