1794 Mule Talbot - Earl Howe London Edge, BN MS (PCGS#979)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Earl Howe Mule. Fuld Mule-3, W-8710. Rarity-4+. Copper. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 119.5 grains. Lustrous medium brown with mint red outlining a good portion of the detail. Close inspection reveals only trivial scratches and abrasions and a few small splashes of darker toning. This mule issue was struck on thinner than usual planchets for the type and as a result shows weakness at the higher relief portions of the obverse and reverse motifs. Overall excellent eye appeal and solid quality for the Choice Mint State grade level. Tied with three others for finest graded at PCGS. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) January 2003 Americana Sale, lot 1061; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
