Description du lot

“1737” (ca. 1864) Higley Copy by J.A. Bolen. Musante JAB-10. Copper. MS-66 RB (PCGS). 28.2 mm. 153.6 grains. Another lovely Higley copy in copper. Generous orange red remains around the rims while the centers have mellowed to soft blue and violet. Highly lustrous and very attractive with just a few tiny spots seen under close examination. Also noted are a couple of tiny natural planchet flakes from each side. Sharply struck but slightly off center. Aside from the strike, this is a virtual twin to the one offered in the previous lot, clearly struck in the same collar from uncanceled dies and almost identically preserved from the time of manufacture. Just 40 are believed to have been struck by Bolen. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
