Description du lot: 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Earl Howe Mule. Fuld Mule-3, W-8710. Rarity-4. Copper. AU-58 (PCGS). Satiny and predominantly smooth, both sides of this handsome piece are warmly toned in a blend of medium and autumn-brown shades. Lightly struck over the central high points, typical of the type, the reverse periphery also displays incomplete detail since that die was smaller than the Talbot, Allum & Lee obverse. Original and attractive near-Mint quality for this more conditionally challenging muling that is seldom encountered in Uncirculated condition. Admiral Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, was a British naval officer best known for his exploits during the American Revolutionary War. Provenance: From our (Stack's) Dr. Conway A.
