<B>1795 1C Talbot, Allum & Lee/Blofield Cavalry Mule MS65 Brown PCGS.</B></I> Breen-1051, "extremely rare." One of only two examples certified by PCGS (1/08). The other piece is graded MS64 Red and Brown. A Talbot, Allum & Lee obverse die is muled with an unrelated Blofield Cavalry die, even though the Blofield die had a broken edge between 8 and 10 o'clock. One of several Talbot mule varieties, presumably made for sale circa-1800 to favored British token collectors. The present Gem has lovely aqua-blue and campfire-red toning. The strike is exacting, and carbon is essentially absent. The obverse is prooflike, since that die was polished to remove rust prior to striking, disconnecting the head and cap from the rest of the design.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
