Musante JAB-2. Kenney-1 variety, one of just 12 believed to have been struck in this metal by John Bolen circa 1863.

With the classic and timeless USA design on the obverse, and the 13 bars on the reverse, though on this type the S passes atop the A (opposite of the Ca. 1785 copper originals), and the reverse lacks the diagnostic die spur protruding from the 2nd bar.

Quite striking in this metal, and highly collectible in its own right, an MS62 example of this type just sold for $6,600 in a Stack’s-Bowers’ auction at the recent Baltimore show.

This example is objectively finer than that specimen, with very fresh, original, silvery-gray color and old toning on the obverse and reverse.

$8,500
