One
of everybody's favorite early colonial coins, here

1781. B.615. Obverse: Liberty
faces left with pole and cap behind her, the inspiration
for the 1793 U.S. half cent obverse. Reverse:
France defends toddler America from the English
lion. The three dates on the medal refer to the
Declaration of Independence (4 JUIL. 1776) and
the U.S. military victories at Saratoga (17 OCT.
1777) and Yorktown (19 OCT. 1781).

sale, lot 6612 as Fine 15. Comes with Weimer collection
sales flip (1976), pedigree to Kessler,Polis collection,
previously catalogued by Walter Breen. Delightfully
PQ and we totally disagree with the grading service
and agree with Stacks assignment of condition
as Fine 15, or even better.
