Lot 271
1804 C-10 R1 AG3. Altered into a High-Quality Gear. Slightly glossy chocolate brown with a small hole in the center. The surfaces are not perfect, but the date is clear. This piece would be wholly unremarkable except that is was very carefully made into a working gear, perhaps for an old clock. The workmanship is superb. Each notch is perfectly formed and angled to work in a machine. Your cataloger has seen at least a dozen large cents made into gears but only a couple half cents and none approaching the gear quality of the piece being offered here. Davy #04.10.21.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Gino Sanfilippo 4/15/1995.
