Unfortunately - I am Taylor-less as I donated my copy to WSR awhile
back. The reverse shield on this specimen is similar to one other
Blacksmith style Irish penny in my collection. As Weston has
suggested the six known Blacksmith Penny's as with the Baker $5,000
specimen example were probably products of English manufacturer based
on my research of provenance tracking of previous owners. The only
inference to Blacksmith here is the extreme crudeness of the specimen
and the haphazard placement of Oppenheim of the Baker coin to the
Blacksmith family in 1987 of the first recorded/viewed penny size
specimen. Of the six currently known specimens I have owned three and
I sold one to Anton and have personally viewed the three other known
specimens. The remaining three are the 1987 Baker-LI Collection coin,
the ANS specimen and a duplicate to the Baker coin which was found by
a Canadian dealer which is a duplacate of the Baker coin based on
plate comparisons of obverse/reverse dies which I viewed at an ANA in
Philly a couple of years back. Of the three all were of an English
provenance or cherried in England by Paul Bosco and Jimmy King.
My point is the craftmanship and Irish shield design on the sole
Irish Blacksmith-Style penny still in my collection is VERY similar
to this specimen and based on the seller's inference in inches this
specimen approximates out at around 35 mm (penny size planchet).
Since a regal English penny measures 34 mm from this period based on
a quick check this is probably the seventh recorded specimen ...
assuming Fuld & Tayman have not recorded any further types in the
Bank of Canada Montreal collection.
Yeah ... we blew it ... a lousy $500-600 on this penny "blacksmith."
HMMMMMMM....
Down try to downplay it Weston ... it will not work with me. SUPER
COIN!!! Just keep dreaming on your triple struck UNC Irish ... as you
just did a few moments ago!
