Vlack 15-85NY, W-1995 variety, this is one of the ‘sexy’ (well, to coin collectors) Machin’s Mills rarities, a crudely made issue marrying a George III obverse (engraved as CEORCIVS III REX) to a discarded IMMUNE COLUMBIA reverse. Estimated by us to be Rarity-6 as an issue with just more than 20 known.
Of the survivors of this type, many are very low grade, corroded, mis-struck or damaged (or some combination of the above). And while this one is a bit off center, it is as lovely, original and problem-free as this type ever comes, with absolutely fantastic golden brown color.
Ex Heritage’s November 2017 sales of the Eric P. Newman Collection, Part IX, lot #15020 where it realized $24,000.
