JAB-36 New York Cent Fascimile Brass
|
28mm - Five Struck in Brass
The dies were cut in 1869. They were canceled and give to the Boston Numismatic Society. They are currently unaccounted for.
The Bolen copies can be distinguished from the originals in a number of ways. The copies have nine feathers in the Indian's headress, while the originals have only seven. The copies also have perfect A's, while the originals show a break at the upper left portion of the letters.
A rim engraved MS-63 example was offered on Steve Hayden's website for $1850 during the spring of 2012. It sold within 24 hours of listing!!!
