CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Red Copper collection (Stewart Blay). EEPS. CAC. The most extreme rarity - the 1871 Shallow N. There is 1 designated (ex ESM) as 65 & another @ 64+ ( I used to own that one). Stewart was well known for his knowledge & artist’s eye. He bought RD coins almost exclusively. Indeed, he is well known as one of the greatest collectors of all time. He is a clear #1 in the copper coin category. This piece is fabulous! Beautiful, lustrous mint RD adorns this coin throughout. Full strike with no real issues. The passage of time has merely confirmed this coin is the “real” deal. There are natural elements present attesting to its originality. A treasure to last a lifetime in every way; it’s an absolute privilege to own it!
