1796 Edwards Copy Kenny-1 Electrotype Copy AU50. Glossy dark olive brown and steel with chocolate brown high points. Satiny luster covers the protected areas on the reverse. The only mark is a small patch of carbon after the second A in AMERICA. A well-executed electrotype copy of a copy, so nice in fact that this is the plate coin in the Breen book (page 166) illustrating the Edwards Copy. Whether or not Breen knew this piece was an electrotype copy when he selected it for his illustration is unknown. Weight 83.4 grains. Davy #96.3.2.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Stack’s 5/79:9 (withdrawn).
