Miller NY-319 variety, with the E. HILL DEALER IN COINS reverse.

While this über-popular ‘smoker’ obverse design was married to a variety of reverse motifs, and can be found with regularity in brass and white metal, and sometimes in silver, copper, as seen here, is really hard to find.

Indeed, this is the first example we’ve ever had a chance to buy.

That it happens to be a superb gem with deeply mirrored fields, significant cameo contrast, lovely multicolored toning and cool pull-away color above the letters in the legends, is, as they say, icing on the cake.

This coin is from the CRO archives and is not currently available for sale.
