Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: Noteworthy Second AU Immunis Columbia / Large Eagle Copper 1787 Immunis Columbia Copper / Large Eagle Reverse. W-5680. Rarity-4+. Plain Edge, Narrow Planchet. AU-50 (PCGS). A visually impressive example of this classic early Federal era type. Generally hard and tight, the surfaces are pleasingly smooth in the absence of distracting marks. Swirls of charcoal-olive along the upper reverse border and around the eagle's talons are associated with minor surface scale, but otherwise both sides exhibit attractive autumn-copper patina with glints of olive-gray around some of the peripheral letters. The borders are through the lettering at the upper reverse and the bases of all four digits on the obverse, but the date is fully legible, as are the legends. Boldly to sharply defined otherwise, this is a visually engaging, technically solid piece that would make a significant addition to an advanced collection. Provenance: Ex Anthony Terranova, May 1996.
