Well, Morris, I think I can save you and OTHERS the effort of getting
the story behind this coin as I've ask the seller a few pertinent
questions and feel safe in sharing his response with you all. I will
have to delete a name he dropped though. You guys could have left my
bid stand for a day or two - at least! - so I could bask in the glory
of being in the game for a while!!!
Anyway, here is what info I think I can share:
"This was part of a MASSIVE (over 40 lbs) ass't of older Copper, &c
material all dumped into an old box-had been in the family since
whenever...this piece-I cannot find any info. Doesn't seem to have
been in the past C4 sale of over 200 pieces cont. ctft. collection.
It's HEAVY at 8.8 grams; shallow-handcut dies lead me to believe that
it was struck sometime in the 1780s. XXXX XXXXXX is coming up to see
if he has it=he has a verey few represented in his massive
collection."
Take it from me, Morris, if Mr. 'X,' wants it, ain't nobody else
gonna get it! Of course that shouldn't keep anyone from bidding - I'm
thinking about upping my bid closer to close. Other than that there
ain't no strategy! Should be interesting in the end!
My only question, to myself, is should I inform the seller about this
piece - now that's a real moral dilema!
