1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Promissory Halfpenny Mule. Fuld Mule-2, W-8670. Rarity-4. Copper. LIVERPOOL Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 157.82 grains. A beautiful specimen bathed in a medley of rich chocolate and caramel hues. The dies are nicely centered on each side, leaving just a thin ring of denticles at the circumference. Sharply struck and intricate across all elements, with considerable mint luster enhancing the eye appeal. A tiny mark at the A of HALFPENNY is the only notable imperfection throughout. The various mulings using the goddess of Liberty obverse die of the Talbot, Allum & Lee cents were made in England expressly for distribution to contemporary numismatists.
