- "1737" (1860s) Higley Copper. Bolen Copy. W-14275, Kenney-4, Musante JAB-10. THE VALVE OF THREE PENCE / CONNECTICVT, 3 Hammers. Brass. MS-64 (PCGS). Beautiful satin to softly frosted surfaces exhibit iridescent olive-gray toning to a base of deep brassy-gold. Sharply defined throughout, although the obverse is a bit tight to the lower border. Impressively smooth in hand, and not all that far removed from full Gem Uncirculated quality. No contemporary reports suggest that brass impressions from these dies were emitted from Bolen's shop, so the supposition follows that this was produced by Dr. Edwards. Either way, these seem fairly rare in brass, and this is one of the nicest we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. PCGS# 535247. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
