[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 1208792, member: 23874"][FONT=georgia]Beautiful specimen Ryan! Despite it being in a holder, any idea what it says along its rim edge? Per my sources, there exists 5 varieties, most easily discernible by their edges: Fuld-WA.1791.2 / Breen-1217 / W-10630: Copper "UNITED STATES" edge. Fuld-WA.1791.2 / W-10632: Brass "UNITED STATES" edge. Fuld-WA.1791.2a / Breen-1218 / W-10635: Copper "MACCLESFIELD" edge. Fuld-WA.1791.2b / Breen-1219 / W-10640 / D&H Middlesex 1050a: Copper "PAYABLE AT THE WAREHOUSE" edge. Fuld-WA.1791.3a / Breen-1224 / W-10645: Copper plain edge. Also, Bowers lists this specimen as a "Small Eagle," rather than "Large Eagle," whereby the [I]Large [/I]has the date the obverse, and the [I]Small [/I]has the date on the reverse.
