1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent / Blofield Cavalry Mule. Fuld Mule-6, W-8725. Rarity-4+. MS-66 RB (PCGS).179.4 grains. A dazzling piece with fresh, brilliant surfaces that are predominantly bright mint red and just lightly toned to steel-brown in parts of the open fields and high points of the design. Flashy prooflike luster that looks much the way this coin would have looked coming off the dies in the 1790s. Any imperfections are few and completely trivial including a small spot right of LIBERTY and tiny planchet flake in the right obverse field. Fine die finishing lines are seen in the fields as the coiner gave these previously well used dies a little touch up before creating this impressive mule. Truly outstanding quality for the type, tied with one other piece for finest graded at PCGS.PCGS# 970.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, June 2006.
