- 1796 TOKEN Myddelton Token PR63 Brown NGC. Breen-1074, W-8900, R.7. 170.6 grains. NGC reports that this example is 99% copper and 1% trace elements, not surprising for a product of Matthew Boulton. In his 1875 colonial reference, The Early Coins of America, Sylvester S. Crosby described these pieces as "unsurpassed" for their beauty of design and execution. However, that was apparently a concern to Boulton, who identified these pieces as halfpence. On February 12, 1796, he wrote to Myddleton about the design: {blockquote}"I must acknowledge that for so small a piece as a halfpenny [sic], there are too many figures, too much intricacy, & too little Simplicity which is a beauty in Medals: moreover it will make the Dies rather too Expensive & take more time than I fear you can allow. Copper � pence will chiefly pass through the hands of unlettered [sic] persons & the device should be such as to be understood at first sight."{/blockquote} This impressive proof reproduces Myddelton's design concept in copper, with fully mirrored fields and bold design motifs. Both sides exhibit mahogany and blue-steel surfaces that show inconsequential hairlines. A delightful example of this rarity. Ex: Roper Collection (Stack's, 12/1983), lot 350; Eric P.

- 1796 MEDAL Castorland Medal MS65 Brown NGC. Whitman-9140, R.5. 133.4 grains. 99% copper. The Castorland medals were struck at the Paris Mint near the end of the 18th century, and they are associated with the Castorville settlement (located in Upstate New York), about 65 miles north of present-day Utica, or 10 miles southeast of Carthage. The village still carries the name Castorland, meaning Land of the Beaver. A group of refugees, fleeing the violence of the French Revolution, founded the colony in 1792. The enigmatic reverse design shows a luxuriant, leaved maple tree with a tap and freely flowing maple sap, although in practice the tapping of maple trees occurred in the early spring before the return of leaves. Following the 1796 original strikes, the Paris Mint produced restrikes in the 19th and 20th centuries. This example is one of the earlier 19th century copper restrikes, and like the Eliasberg example, it appears to be triple-struck, with reflective fields and pristine light olive surfaces. The early restrikes, such as this piece, incorporate the original dies, the reverse with defects that include a bulge and crack at the S in PARENS. Modern restrikes are produced from copy dies.

- 1795 1/2C Talbot/Blofield MS66 Brown NGC. Breen-1051, W-8725, High R.4. For this mule, a 1795-dated obverse die was paired with a reverse depicting cavalry weapons and instruments, with the legend BLOFIELD CAVALRY surrounding. FIFTH TROOP is seen on a scroll in the upper reverse field. Only one variety is known, exhibiting a serpentine line and dot pattern around the edge. The obverse die is lapped, likely to remove signs of die rust prior to striking, as the remnants of the granular texture are seen on the relief elements with low-power magnification. This high-end piece is otherwise sharply struck, with beautifully preserved surfaces. Glossy burgundy patina graces each side, with significant remnants of Red luster seen in the recesses. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $7,050.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1794 1C Talbot/Howard XF45 NGC. Lettered Edge, Breen-1049, W-8720, R.4. The 1794-dated Fuld-3 Talbot, Allum & Lee cent obverse die is here paired with an undated reverse depicting a bust facing left with the inscription IOHN HOWARD F.R.S. PHILANTHROPIST surrounding.

Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized NOT SOLD. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1794 1C Talbot/Stork MS64 Brown NGC. Liverpool Edge, Breen-1043, W-8670, R.4.

Examples are known with two different edge inscriptions, the LIVERPOOL edge variety being the more plentiful. This piece displays medium orange-brown patina with tinges of copper-red in the recesses. The strike is sharp, with well-preserved surfaces. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $3,055.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
