Lot 209
1793 S-12 Electrotype copy of the ANS example. EF-40. Glossy medium chocolate brown with traces of the underlying darker base metal showing through on some of the highpoints. There are a couple very light rim bruises but no distracting marks. The edge is smooth, void of any edge lettering that was added to a few of these electrotypes. Ted's envelope notes "This electro was the model for a copper-foil pressing given at EAC76/NY as souvenirs to members attributing as S-12." An attractive copy of this famous cent that is the finest known of the variety.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
Ex Gene Braig-Mark Borckardt 4/76-R. E. Naftzger, Jr.
