GEN. U.S. GRANT COMMANDER IN CHIEF U.S. ARMY in a plain field. The tall letters and script font are suggestive of Anthony Paquet's later work on patterns for Seated Liberty coinage, as well as the famous Paquet Reverse double eagle. This example offers lovely original patina in hues of steel-blue and pinkish-gold, with some light hairlines and field chatter.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
