I won't have much time for the forum next month so member DCW has agreed to get this thread started each weekend.

Thanks DCW as it's greatly appreciated!

Figured I'd give this one more go for as I know one member is itching to post a new purchase here.

Have a great weekend everyone

This is an extremely well made electrotype higher graded example maybe AU50, of a private New York issue attributed to the small coinage operations of John Bailey and Ephraim Brasher in and around New York City, possibly from a pattern issue that the coiners struck in connection with failed copper coinage petitions that were submitted to the legislature in February 1787. These particular coins range in price form $30-$40,000 to $80,000 in AU50 grade.
The Excelsior copper is known in three varieties.
Low- and midgrade Excelsior coppers typically come with significant environmental impairments, such as granular fields.

A very rare piece of Washingtoniana, and the Musante Plate piece:

Harzfeld's Bust of Washington -- 106mm in diameter!

@cardinal
At 106mm, it might be a cool place to rest one's martini. Such is the "hobby of kings!"
