This is a fun link, guys! It gives us all a chance to sit back and=20
reflect=20
on things that we purchased in the last year. I have a tough time coming
up=20
with a favorite single piece -- I added several rare French Colonies=20
pieces=20
to my collection, as well as a few other neat items. At one of the Ford
sales=20
I picked up three unique die trials of the 1791 Washington large and small=
=20
eagle cents, which are clearly high in the favorite list.=20=20
=20
But if I had to choose a single specimen, I would say it was the unique =
=20
Confederatio/Nova Constellatio mule that also came from the Ford sale. Not
only=20
did the piece go for a bargain price, it's the first time that the coin was
offered for public sale in well over a century, and it has a pedigree that =
=20
includes some of the best known names in colonial numismatics. Add to it=20
the=20
fact that the coin is important in that it marries two series that would
not=20=20
otherwise be related, the Nova's that were thought to be struck in England
and=20=20
the Confederatios that were thought to be struck here!
=20
