And for one of these breakfasts, they usually charged us 25 cents. In the above, I should have included tea or coffee. -- John Woods, 1822Another finely toned, well provenanced, and nicely reflective example from these dies. The dies retain much of their prooflike mirrored character on this high grade business strike, but the striking pressure and intent is clearly different, with only a few traces of star centers, a rounded reverse rim, and some softness on other peripheral elements furthest from the central force exerted by the screw press. The central details remain exactingly sharp, and the elegant design is well showcased. Long treasured as part of the Garrett Collection, the color bespeaks originality, with hues of rich gold, bright blue, and deep magenta on the obverse, the reverse a more subtle blend of pastel blue and champagne. The obverse shows light evidence of handling, including a nearly vertical hairline inside of star 6, a small batch of hairlines around stars 8 and 9, and a tiny nick under the left side of the first 2 in the date. The reverse is closer to pristine, with few marks other than a light nick under ST of STATES. Under a glass and at arms length, the eye appeal of this piece does honor to the legendary Garrett name. The dies are perfect.Not far from where this piece resided when owned by the Garretts, in a tavern just west of Baltimore, English emigre John Woods recounted the epic American breakfast he enjoyed as he made his way from his ships anchorage at Baltimore to a new life in Illinois. Among the breakfast foods the aforementioned Woods tried on that 1822 morning in Maryland were waffles, a sort of soft cake, said to be of German origin. Waves of immigrants like Woods arrived in America in this era, many of them bound for a homestead on the open farmland of the American Midwest. Illinois became a state in 1818, followed by Alabama in 1819, Maine in 1820, and Missouri in 1821. This piece ranks among the top echelon of specimens known from these dies. No specimen graded higher than MS-64 has ever sold at public auction, and its hard to imagine that another piece at this grade level could match this coin for its aesthetic appeal. Matching its historical Garrett-Pogue provenance would be essentially impossible.
