Description

1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / John Howard Mule. Fuld Mule-5A, W-8722. Rarity-8. Plain Edge. MS-62 BN (PCGS).
115.8 grains. The extremely rare Plain Edge variety of the John Howard mule. Just two have been graded at PCGS, the other being an AU-58 (ex New Netherlands 60th Sale, lot 428), and we are aware of no other examples. A very attractive piece with choice, gently lustrous surfaces and ideal light to medium brown color. No meaningful marks or spots. A notably strong strike for this muling with excellent centering and far more detail than typically seen on the drapery of the obverse figure and on the bust of John Howard.
PCGS# 510386.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jim King at the November 2005 C4 Convention.

Estimate: $1100
