If I understand what you're saying, it was Anton who reported this as fact in his book "The Forgotten Coins of the North American Colonies" (I'm...
Thanks for confirming the 73-aa. Its provenance is reported to originate from the Boyd collection. And in support of your statement about it being...
Indeed. You did say muling. My apologies. Scratch what I said before. I do believe we're on the same page though :thumb: Beautiful specimen too!

Nice job :thumb:
It doesn't look right to me either. But what exactly is a "vintage fake"? Do you mean contemporary counterfeit?
Are you sure it's not a 1794 Talbot Allum & Lee cent underneath a cent? Philadelphia bought tons of them to use as planchets during the copper...
Happening again... Clicked on "Sunday Internet Auction" and Tuesday's auction came up...
