Plain edge pattern in Tin by Adolf Weyl. P-, F-. A scuff behind the bust, but otherwise practically as struck. This metal was not recorded by either Peck or Freeman, but a metal analysis of this and other coins has shown them to be struck in pure tin. The weight of 10.36g was clearly too high for aluminium which this coin was described as in both the Adams (lot 193) and Glendining 15/12/1993 lot 256. Almost certainly ex J G Murdoch, Sotheby 15-19-3/1904 lot 689, 690 or 691. Probably unique. Comes with a copy of the EDX spectrum acquired when analysed. These patterns were produced as a set of 3 - penny, halfpenny and farthing. Examples are known in tin for both the 1860 and 1887 dated pieces and with both plain and milled edges. (1538)
