Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / John Howard Mule. Fuld Mule-5, W-8720. Rarity-4. Lettered Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 115.3 grains. Noteworthy quality for the John Howard mule variety, perhaps the most available of the various Talbot, Allum & Lee mules but also the most condition sensitive. Lustrous surfaces are toned to an even medium-brown. Close to Gem-caliber save for some almost imperceptible hairlines that hold the grade back slightly. Just two graded finer at PCGS in MS-64 BN with none in the Red Brown category. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 976. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
