Lot Description

111.8 grains. Medium brown with granular surfaces, some light oxidation and minor old scratches. Though imperfect, this is still a respectable example with a lot to offer in terms of detail. It is virtually identical to the EAC '75/Breen plate coin in centering and sharpness, so much so that it could be easily mistaken for it, but it is not that coin which was heavier and later in the Neil Rothschild Collection. Syd Martin's primary coin (ex Twin Leaf) was better than this and is the finest in our archives, but it wasn't <em>vastly </em>better. A bit off center as common for the variety.
