Undated (1860s) Sommer Islands Shilling. Dickeson Copy. Kenney-1, W-15410. Brass. MS-66 (PCGS).An outstanding brass striking from these dies, both sides exhibit subtle flint gray and pale pink highlights to dominant olive-gold patina. The border beads are a bit soft along the top on both sides, but otherwise we note universally sharp striking detail throughout the design. Lustrous with a smooth satin texture, this premium quality Gem is sure to please. Struck from dies prepared by Robert Lovett, Jr. in 1859.
