Th re is one on eBay and I believe Del Parker bought the one out of the heritage auction last year and may still have it.

I didn't see that in the archives at heritage. The only one on eBay isn't too great

Yes that is the coin mentioned by Brian above.

Not an Irish expert so my question is simply this:

What makes this a mule instead of a different die variety?

superpsychmd · July 22, 2017 4:31PM

Because the side of the coin with the horse came from 1928 proof dies combined with the 1961 dies

Thanks. Seems your answer confirms my view that the broadest definition of a mule is the combination of two unintended die pairings.

Best of luck with you endeavors to add one to your collection.

Thanks coinkat. I was actually able to pick one up via a U.K. Dealer but it took a lot of time to find one. Not a 63 but looks decent
