<B>1756 Kittanning Destroyed AU55 Uncertified.</B></I> Betts-400. Julian MI-33. Bronze, 48mm. From the original dies, identified by die scratches through the 6 in the date, the TR in ARMSTRONG, and a die lump above the first E in DESTROYED. Rulau states the original dies were brought to the U.S. Mint by Joseph Richardson circa 1800. These dies were broken by 1874, but the present piece shows only reverse bulging. A lovely golden-brown example with unmarked surfaces and a hint of wear on the clasped hands, haystack, and foreground soldier.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
