1796 John Whitney Walter/Stack's/Landis proof of concept Timothy's collection

$330.00Price

It was time to pick out a couple of items from my own supply for something interesting...and to try and compensate for losing an entire week of work to the ice storm here in Arkansas! 
Support Ron's one-man labor force!
I will gladly provide a handwritten "From the Collection of" paperwork if desired.

 

This set is all seven (7) pieces including scans from the Stack's catalog.

Lot 1758 S.NC-7(Clapp-Newcomb 34, Sheldon(EAC) 26-BB)


I cannot possibly describe everything as accurately as the article Ron wrote for the Stack's Auction Catalogue (May 4, 1999), so I will include a high-resolution scan of that article and catalog cover with the sale.


Basically "we" (read Ron) proved that this famous half-cent was created using an off-center spoiled large cent as a host blank, rather than the piece just being a simple off-strike of large cent dies on a half-cent host.
