Unpierced. A beautiful example, satiny and highly lustrous gray with generous accents of rose, violet and pale blue. Struck in the 1860s, in sets of 15, in copper, brass and white metal. The reported number for silver is "a few pieces," almost guaranteed by convention to be fewer in number than the less precious metals. Attractive, high grade, and rare.,,,Ex Wayte Raymond; F.C.C. Boyd estate; our sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XXIV, September 2013, lot 10641. Paper envelope with attribution notation included.
