1648 COLONIAL NEW YORK CITY LION DOLLAR ~ GREAT PATINA & LUSTER!

Description: Beautiful Patina & Luster! 1648 Netherlands Overijssel 1 Daaler "New York Lion Dollar" XF+ Details, Edge Filed A beautiful and rather unusually appealing example of this issue, which tends to either come flatly struck or on a mangled planchet, or both, and almost always dipped, stripped, and frankly, ugly. This piece is the exception, with richly toned champagne and apricot gold hues washing over glossy mint bloom. Well struck for the type, and free from any distractions on its face. A 10 power glass is needed to reveal scattered file marks on the edge of the coin. These may have been done at the time of manufacture to adjust the weight; they may have been done by an unscrupulous merchant trying to skim silver; or they may have been an attempt to repair or remove some distraction. Either way, the piece is stunning to the unaided eye.Listed in the Red Bok, the Netherlands 1 Daaler or Lion Dollar is considered part of an Early American set. These are said to have circulated in the early, Dutch colony of New York. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE RETURN POLICY!
