Only use of reverse die but obverse die used on M 1.2-mm
Oversized head is a dead giveaway as well as the unique reverse.

These have such character! I would have loved to collect Pennsylvania colonial coins, but Ben Franklin had to go and be a printer! Paper money only!
Rest in Peace

Very cool piece of history. I like yours better than the less worn example. Yours has seen many more pockets and change purses. Makes you wonder....

That's what I love about Colonial Numismatics. Did someone of historical significance ie. George Washington have this in his pocket?
Blows the mind!

So does this complete your "Muttonhead" set? Do you have that M 1.2 mm for us to see?

philadelphian no, I don't own a Miller 1.2-mm.

Wow. This almost looks like it could be one of the ancients, a portrait of Cleopatra or something.

Nice find!
