Description
1785 Immune Columbia, VF20
George III Mule, W-1995
1785 PIECE Immune Columbia Piece, George III Obverse VF20 NGC.
CAC. W-1995, Low R.7. Ex: New Netherlands. 96.9 grains. The
small planchet of this example is insufficient for the legends,
with III REX mostly absent on the obverse, and only IMMU visible on
the reverse. The date is almost entirely off the flan, with only
the tops of each digit visible. The surfaces are generally smooth
with trivial grade-consistent marks. Light brown devices contrast
with the steel and maroon fields. Because the planchet was not
perfectly round, the edges are irregular. The obverse die was too
deeply engraved, so that the central device rarely shows detail,
even on the finest survivors. The letters VS in GEORGIVS are low,
and lost in the hair detail at the back of the head: That feature
alone is diagnostic.Ex: From England; New Netherlands (59th Sale, 6/1967), lot 1066; Ted L. Craige; Alan Kessler; David Sonderman (4/4/1983); Donald Groves Partrick Collection (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 5649.
