1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / John Howard Mule. Fuld Mule-5, W-8720. Rarity-4. Lettered Edge. MS-63 BN (PCGS).115.3 grains. Noteworthy quality for the John Howard mule variety, perhaps the most available of the various Talbot, Allum & Lee mules but also the most condition sensitive. Lustrous surfaces are toned to an even medium-brown. Close to Gem-caliber save for some almost imperceptible hairlines that hold the grade back slightly. Just two graded finer at PCGS in MS-64 BN with none in the Red Brown category.PCGS# 976.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006.
