CopperHunter Valued Member Canada 59 Posts	Posted 07/06/2023 09:16 am Ex-"Boston Old City Hall Collection" Stack's Bowers June 2018 Baltimore Lot 1437. BB-242, B-5. Rarity-5. Wide Date. This coin has nice original gray toning. Sharp detail on Draped bust hair and eagle feathers. Surface had been lacquered in the old times. What surprised me is that this coin letters are all square and clear. Most pieces of this period suffer from "fishtailed" letters. It is hard to find a coin with sharp detail yet absent of "fishtailed" letters. Report this Post to the Staff
